Path by White Center Heights Park

I run through this park at least once a week. I love how you can find quiet/hidden places all over Seattle. This is fall scene, right now it looks so much different with lots of new spring foliage. This is the largest painting I’ve done so far, and I really enjoyed painting it.

Pike Place Street

I pass by Pike Place Street most week days. There is always lots of movement in this area of town, but in this chilly day I was able to capture some tranquility. This painting is one of the hardest I’ve ever made. It took me about 8 months to finish.

Oil on hardboard, 40 x 30 in (101.6 x 76.2 cm).

We Lost Power

Technology is great since we are now more connected and informed than ever. But, could the excessive use of technology prevent us from achieving a better/meaningful life? Recently we lost power for a long time at home. We couldn’t watch tv or browse the internet, boredom set in quickly. We stared restless at our phones while we still had some battery left. It is unfortunate to see how mindless entertainment takes time away from other worthwhile activities. Even time resting seems difficult without digital aids. I think is important to strike a healthy balance with technology, otherwise we lose human power.

Oil on Hardboard Panel 24x30 inches.

Somewhere near Tillamook

This is a painting of a walk we took while in a road trip through Oregon. The Oregon coast is amazing, full of nice little towns and great forests.

Duwamish River View

I often walk across the lower West Seattle Bridge (the smaller bridge located under the regular West Seattle Bridge). I like looking at the industrial scene from this spot, specially during dawn or dusk.
