One hundred oil paintings in 2014

As the end of year is approaching, I went through all oil paintings I've done this year, and there are 100 paintings!

Strangely enough, I remember every single painting. Just like a photograph, a painting has its own memory, much stronger one than a photograph, I guess.

Having discovered the challenge, struggle and enormous joy painting brings, is one of the best things has happened to me recently.

And people I've met through painting, particularly Gregory Smith, a great artist and my mentor... 

Thank you all, you've certainly enriched my life.

These are this year's first and last painting as of today. What a difference!
