Hua's Balcony

Tonight I went to see my friend Hua, who I met at the Garin Baker workshop.
I think we have been friends for many lifetimes; it's one of those situations where you meet a person and everything just flows and you are immediately just good friends.

Hua lives in China but is an American citizen.  She has two daughters here in college.
She owns an apartment in Lincoln Center and does come to NYC a lot.
She's a wonderful artist and takes a lot of classes at the League.

Anyhow, she's here in the US and I went to see her.  I brought paint.
It is mid-February and was 28 degrees outside, so like any normal people woulddo, we went outside on her balcony to freeze and paint.

She's on the 22nd floor and has a great view.







Here is Hua painting.


Here we are together.


And here I am.


This is my painting, 8x10 oil.
I actually could have spent a lot of time on this but it's only about 45 minutes of actual painting time.
It was SO COLD and we ended up taking some long breaks inside to get warm again.

Weirdly though I learned a lot doing it.

I would not call this a finished painting but I'm not doing anything else to it.


I like this part.
