2020 | Watercolor 水彩 ｜54 x74 cm
Part of my Sand, Sticks & Stones series:
STONES:
Rocks, pebbles can be an intriguing part of nature with their indivldual shapes, colours, textures.
The challenge is to arrange all the variety of shapes into a harmonious whole. ln this work each stone has been painted one at a time and together they appear like the cast of characters in a play. Some stones are the ‘stars’ whilst others are bit players, the supporting cast.
「沙、枝、石」水彩系列之一。
「石」：岩石、卵石有著其獨特的外型、色彩與質感，可說是大自然引人入勝的一環。
其挑戰在於將型態不一的形體融為一體。本畫作中的每顆石頭，都是逐次一個個畫上，整體看來，就如同戲劇般的各個角色，有些是「明星」，其他是配角。
Sunlit Driftwood ll 日光下的漂流木 2
2017-2021 | Watercolor 水彩｜54 x74 cm
Part of my Sand, Sticks & Stones series:
STICKS:
Mostly are driftwood and I find that they give a new dynamic to what at times are uninteresting coastal scenes. The complexities encountered with the drawing takes time, as the work is layered by shapes on top of shapes. These entwining forms that create a challenge for the artist. Weathered timber with its bleached tones, its white areas can be utilized to enhance the composition.
This is a prize winning work of four years ago and since, I have reworked the painting, to make it a stronger more compelling image.
「沙、枝、石」水彩系列之一。
「枝」：大多是漂流木，讓我找到不同於乏味岸景的一種新動感。其繁複性，層層交疊的形態，使繪畫創作相當耗時。這些交纏的的形體帶給藝術家挑戰。風化的柴木帶有發白的色調，白色的區塊可用來強化構圖。此作是四年前的得獎作品，經重新調整後，變得更為強烈迷人的影像。
Sands of Fishery Beach 漁岸的沙
2016-2021 | Watercolor 水彩｜54 x 74 cm
Part of my watercolour series: Sands, Sticks & Stones
SAND:
To create a large scale illusion of sand in a painting is a challenge.
The technical skill required comes with experience for sand has an infinite variety of tones, colours and textures. With its smoothness, the sand acts as a counterpoint to the solidity and texture of the stones. This painting has been in progress with subtle modifications made in recent times.
「沙、枝、石」水彩系列之一。
「沙」：在畫中創作出大幅的沙之幻覺是一大挑戰。其技巧源自於對沙的色調、色彩與質感的經驗。沙的滑順，對比石的堅實質感。本畫作於近期做過幾次些微修飾。
