Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving from New York. This is a mixed-media process study from my studio—an image I love for its pearly glazes and shifting textures. The motif was later developed in collaboration with AURUM LOCUS as some goods designs. For original paintings, please browse the Painting archive . For original works or a private viewing in New York, please use the inquiry form on the Contact page.

Fun day! Making handmade oil paint
Studio note from today: I mixed my own white oil paint and recorded the feel of the grind—the sheen, the weight, the stickiness. Below are close-ups and a work-in-progress. Today is fun day! I made white oil color (Titanium white + egg + linseed oil) with glass grinder . Use egg for oil colors is very classic recipe ever since Rembrandt. I love work with glass grinder. Oil color with egg makes nice mass thick texture just like picture. 今日は楽しい絵の具練り作業♪ 厚みを出す為のチタン白+全卵+リンシードオイルと

Intaglio work
Studio note — I’m working on a small copper plate for an intaglio print. This piece is becoming a mezzotint; I love the slow, meditative process and the deep, velvety blacks it creates. I don't know why intaglio work is so fun.... I truly enjoy each progress of mezzotint.

Old technique into present progress
Studio note — a quiet first impression: light and shapes settling on the surface, the story still hidden and waiting for the next session. This is another my new work. It has just started. I used to use this “Acrylic and oil” technique until ten years ago but I stopped use this progress because felt “not right”. However I enjoyed this technique all after ten years. Hope my this ten years experience makes this progress to “right way” in me. See more acrylic and oil works and
