I have seen many paintings of indoor scenes like living rooms and restaurants but this is, I think, the very first time I’ve ever tried to paint one. I am quite pleased with the result and I must say that it was a very interesting experience and a welcome change.

Here is one more painting of those pink and violet clouds.

On another note, I finally gave up with all the spam comments I receive every single day so I spent some time yesterday to look for a solution. I installed a plugin which adds a word verification feature just like the one in Blogger. As much as I hate to add this inconvenience, it just seemed that I was getting more and more spam everyday. Anyway, I would still love to hear from you, so I hope you will not mind this. If you encounter any problems when you leave a comment, please let me know. Thank you!

This is actually a Fuji apple without most of the pink and red streaks. When I saw that it was almost all yellow, I just had to paint it.

I have always been fascinated with clouds, especially when it’s sunset and they take on a lot of different colors. These pink and violet clouds remind me so much of cotton candy.

This was for the Windows to the Words challenge last May. I think it is my very first butterfly painting. The design on its wings wasn’t difficult but it was a lot of work. I enjoyed every minute of it though, especially since I got to use a lot of bright blue.

These pigeon orchids are a challenge to paint. I have to start painting as soon as the buds open or else they will be droopy and wilted before I even finish setting up my oil paints! They are beautiful flowers though and I look forward to painting them some more in the future.

Since today is Independence Day in America, I wish to greet all Americans a Happy Fourth of July!

Today is also a very special day for me because, like the title says, this is also my blog’s first anniversary! I should have posted the 365th daily painting around this time, but since I wasn’t able to keep my schedule, it will come a little (or a lot!) later than I expected. We’ll see though. I may have some more to say come the day I post that 365th painting, but for now, I just want to say THANK YOU! once again to all of you who visit my blog, those who enjoy my paintings, those who take time to send me their comments — you are all very special to me! Thank you!

Egg Painting in Oil - No. 2

Daily Painting #320 – Egg No. 2
(Click image for larger version)

Oil painting on hardboard
Approximately 5 x 5 inches — 13 x 13 cm

The daily painting updates have been quite few and very inconsistent, especially the past several weeks. My father suddenly became ill (with labyrinthitis and vertigo) around the
middle of May and was bedridden the whole day, everyday during the first few weeks. I still managed to continue painting and finishing one daily painting each day, but I had very limited time for it, in addition to the blog posting and other work.

Although my father is steadily improving each week and I am slowly regaining more time for my work, I still haven’t been able to focus very much. So if you have been wondering why the decreasing updates, this is the reason.

I truly apologize to all those who sent me e-mail and other messages whom I still have not been able to respond to yet. The daily painting project by itself has required a lot of time (painting and posting), so with all the things going on lately, everything that needed to be done just piled up. Please know that I am not ignoring anyone and that I will still respond to your e-mail and messages, especially those who asked questions. It may still take time for me to get back on track, but I am working on it. I hope you understand.

I painted this lotus flower for the April challenge on James Parker’s Windows to the Words. It took me a few more hours to finish than usual, but I had a lot of fun with it. I especially enjoyed painting the reflections in the water.

More Windows to the Words…

The “For the Birds” challenge back in March was at the same time a contest with prizes.

Bluebird Painting - For the Birds Contest

My bluebird painting above won 2nd place and I received these two lovely paintings by James Parker. I am actually glad I wound up second because I am thrilled to own them both! Thank you, Mr. Parker!

Here’s a picture of me holding one of the paintings:

This was the first red papaya I’ve tried, and it was the best I have ever tasted — sweet and very refreshing. Given a chance, I may have been tempted to eat this particular papaya all by myself (it was about a foot long)!

Something not related to the daily paintings. Earlier this month, my brother David and I each entered 3 of our artwork to the A Singular Creation Portraits 2 Contest. I am thrilled that the oil portrait I did for Different Strokes from Different Folks was chosen as one of the 12 finalists. There were about 271 entries and there were many great paintings and drawings, so I am really honored that the judges chose my painting and one of David’s pencil portraits (both shown below).

I can’t believe it’s the 300th painting already, and there are only 65 more before I complete one year of daily paintings!

My goal is to finish one year and after which, if God is willing, I’d like to start on a new project — something which I have been planning on since late last year. Hope you will stay tuned for that.
