narrative painting #3

After 6 months I return to school for craig's narrative painitng class, which is one of the most difficult class in art department, from my opinion.
We have 60 choices of theme for assignment #3. I chose "This was one unhappy camper". Since I didn't know the meaning of the line. I created the illustration literally on it. Here is the color com of the piece. Next to it is the under drawing of the illustration. In this stage I used gesso and modeling paste to create the background texture. It represents the chaos environment.

two of my paintings are showing in a group show, in Studio Gallery San Francisco.

Across the Universe

I did this illustration for a song of the Beatles, Across the Universe. It was the assigment from Portfolio class.
I tried to translate the beautiful lyric into the paper, such as " words are flowing out like endless rain", :drifting through my open mind" and "million eyes". It's done by collage and ink. Now I am trying some color effect on separete material. Then I will play it in the PS.
12.5 X 25.
