Textures to express smoothness. How far can it go?

New work finally takes its very first steps!  A continuation of the previous textured Bubbling series.

Can smooth surfaces be textured?  This thought has stayed in my mind, but the trying out of the idea at the beginning of year in small scales and watercolor led to a whole new page itself - new series, solo show & fun great sale.  No regret though, coming back to this one in bigger scales, the expressions are much enriched in layering and mark making.

New curating experiences!

Oh my!  Some six months' gone! I didn't even realize I haven't blogged here although I have had some very exciting art experiences - I had the privilege of using the space of a private gallery to curate some art shows at total liberty.  Check out my Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/elizachengfineart

The casual fun watercolor series gave birth to my solo exhibition:  Homescapes
