New Work
A large oil on hardboard (24 × 36 in), Conversation with Bird holds a quiet exchange between a woman and two bright birds across a table. A still moment—poised between attention and speech. "Conversation with Bird" 24"x36" Oil on Hardboard 2022 Here is my new work. I didn't do this larger size in over ten years but it was really fun. I love to do with this "larger" size. Guess I'll do it again. To see bigger photo: https://leimiart

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

Old work -part3 Nameless work 2003
Step into a labyrinth of arches and whispers from my early period. Old work - part3 Nameless work 16"x20" 2003 Acrylic, tempera and oil on Hardboard. I just had a good laugh because of their faces! Ha ha ha. But I don't blame myself in 2003. If you collect "strange" painting, now is your good chance.😁 Nameless (2003) is a mixed-media painting in acrylic, tempera, and oil on hardboard (16×20 in). 昔の発掘作品パート3。カオが面白過ぎて爆笑。ヘンな絵のコレクターさん、今がチャンスです😁

My first abstract work
I did this underpainting almost 20 years ago. Use silver powder and mixed media. Fortunately the colors are still great and no oxidate because I did put coating several times on surface soon after I did this. ...However I still don't know "What should I paint onto??" so I am beginning to think "Let's leave this way as my first abstract work"..... See more abstract works and mixed-media studies , and inquire about availability or commissions.

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
