First Art Sale

 It's been a fruitful month. I joined the local art society this year and participated the Half-Price Sale for the first time. It was on the weekend of June 1st and 2nd. Despite the terrible weather on Saturday, we had a pretty good turn out overall. I managed to sell one of the four paintings that I entered in the sale. They are all landscapes from our Tasmania holiday 2 years ago.

However, the biggest fun I had this month was learning neural networks following cs231n course. I am up to the last 2 parts of assignment 2. I hope I will finish it this weekend!

Girl Without Pearl Earrings

 I painted this in October. Only now I have time to make the animated gif and upload the pictures.

童年记忆 - #1

 

The place where I grew up had been wiped out from the Earth in the name of progress. It now only exists in people's memories. This is my version.

R.I.P. James Bond

 I can't believe they killed James Bond in the name of some dubious political correctness! Now back to oil painting - I watched this video and followed its techniques. Here is the result:

Oil Painting - 13th Doctor

 Did this one in the weekend. Still got some fixing to do.

Oil Painting - 9th Doctor

 This time I adopted Ben Lustenhouwer's palette and the 3 color zones practice. It really made things very easy!

Oil Painting - 11th Doctor

 Did this one in the weekend. It's an experiment with slightly bolder colors, breaking rules.

Oil Painiting - the 10th Doctor

 More COVID lockdown, more oil painting! 'Finished' this one today. (Actually, I never finished them. There is always more tweaking to do).

Oil Painting - the 12th Doctor

 More lockdown, more time to paint! Finished this last weekend. Time to start another one.

Oil Painting

 The last oil painting I did was back in 2016. Work and frequent movement had sapped my energy to paint at home. The latest COVID lockdown gave me more incentive to pursue my hobbies at home, including oil painting. Just finished this one today.
