HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009 has been an incredible year of growth for me. I've studied under Van Saro now for more than a year and the progress shows in my work: thank you, Van. I also have a beautiful new studio near my home which I share with my friend and colleague, Heidi Floren.

I believe 2010 is going to be a year of new mastery and also a year in to get my new work out to the public by entering more group art shows. I will keep you posted on dates and times. Thank you all for your support this year and I hope that your new year is full of warmth, laughter and love.

New Postings!!

Thanks to all of you who have been clamoring for new postings this year. I really appreciate your interest! I've been very focused on drawing for many months now, and I've finally made the plunge back into oils. Betty Edwards ("Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" and "Color") says that painting is inherently more difficult than drawing because it requires input from the left side of the brain to mix colors as well as the artistic right side of the brain for drawing. Therefore, the artist in constantly switching gears during a painting. This might explain why even the old masters, such as John Singer Sargent, were famous for requiring up to 60 sittings by their patrons for a single portrait. All this to say, I hope to see outrageous progress in my painting in 2009. I hope you enjoy the ride with me. Cheers! -Lin
