"Self as a Chinese Girl"
Watercolor

This is a watercolor that is originally based on a photograph I took of myself.  It does not look so much like the photograph of myself but I was trying to capture my mood and my feelings about my cultural identity.


"Girl with a Peony"
Watercolor on Canvas
5 X 7

The inspiration for this watercolor painting on canvas came from a photo in a magazine. I love the soft wavy petals of the peony flower. 


Watercolor

This is a watercolor based on a photo a took of a traveling companion.  Her look in the photograph seemed to imply a faraway contemplation.  I tried to capture the look of being lost in thought about faraway things.
