HUANG SHAN - acrylic on canvas, 80x100cm, 2009
Huang Shan or the Yellow Mountain is a mountain in China. It has many granite peaks with pine trees. Extraordinarily beautiful and sureal. I used to think classical chinese ink painting portrayal of dramatic mountain scapes were pure imagination until I saw Huang Shan.
HUNTLEYS POINT - oil on canvas, 25x50cm, 2009
Huntleys Point is a suburb in Sydney Australia. It has a ferry wharf near Gladesville Bridge where I used to take ferry to work. The pedestrian path down to the wharf is from the left. The wharf is on the right side. The morning sun was casting shadows along the sloping ground.
SHINJUKU - Acrylic on canvas, 30x40cm, 2010

LUNA PARK - Acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm, 2004
Luna Park is a fair ground or amusement park in Sydney Australia. It is by the water on Sydney Harbor and just below the north end of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. I commute to work by ferry and the route stop at Luna Park wharf. This scene is at dusk and the laughing man facade was brightly lit. The park was under part-renovation at the time and has large sheets of colorful posters on the side.
TULIPS OF BOWRAL - Acrylic on canvas, 100x120cm
Every spring a small town named Bowral in New South Wales Australia is full of blooming tulips and attract many tourists. It was a cold but very sunny day when I took the photo which later became the inspiration of this painting.
