Oil Painting on Stretched Canvas
My favorite medium on painting is oil. It's creamy, looks so rich and vibrant. Even it needs longer time to clean up as well as to dry, whenever I have enough time, painting in oil would be my first choice.
Regarding the theme/object, my first choice is landscape, beautiful scenery. I often took pictures and then make it as reference for my painting.
 Cendrawasih 2017Cendrawasih is the famous bird found in Papua rainforest (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea). It is also called the Bird of Paradise. The Papuan people believe that Cendrawasih birds are the reincarnation of fairies, or bird of the gods that come from heaven and because of that the birds will never set foot on ground.

 Rocks in Canon BeachMy husband and I (and Sonny our Westie dog) went to Canon Beach for a vacation. We rented a house for a few days. We spent a lot of time walking down on the beach. Sonny was so excited. He could walk for hours. Morning and then afternoon again. He didn't care when his feet got wet. It was rainy when we arrived there, but the next day was nice. I managed to get pictures of the haystack rocks from various angles.
