From Jan to April

Wow, time flies so fast. My last blog entry was Jan. 26.

I went back to the workforce mid-Feb and my time for art creation and art related stuff has been relegated to the rare free times that I now have.

I just finished submitting the 20 images that comprised my project " A Modern Look at Old Tustin" to the Tustin Area Council for the Fine Arts (TACFA) who awarded me an art grant to fund this endeavor of visually documenting Old Town Tustin. It's been a 10-month long project and I'm happy about the outcome and glad that it's done.

Coming up - June art fair at the Irvine Fine Arts, a solo show at Casanooah, web site projects and new image collections to prepare/post. 'til then have a great Spring.

San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary


I spent the late afternoon of Sunday at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary - nature walk and bird photography. With my affinity towards abstract images, I went crazy with the sunset hitting the waterfilled ponds that attracts migratory birds.
