En Plein Air: Park Drive (Oil, 8 x 12)

Hi, Friends:

As you may have noticed that I didn't post my artworks as often as before. As a matter of fact, I don't paint as much as before. For one thing, that is because of my spinal stenosis. I have difficulty standing or walking for long. Secondly, because I have a new-born grandson. And my wife and I are providing day-care to the baby.

I am not a pessimist, but I would advise any young couples who do family-planning to think twice. I consider the world to have become more dangerous with each passing day. I mean all kinds of risks.  Since he has been brought to this world, as a grandfather, I want to help give to the child a safest and happiest childhood we as a family could give. It is my belief that if a human being could not have a happy childhood, down the road, he would have various kinds of problems resulted from inappropriate growth and development. Therefore, painting has become a kind of luxury to me now. I may go out to do plein-air painting once a week. Sometimes, I would be able to grab a few sketch drawings whenever I have the opportunity.

Thank you.
