PS.  Top is a little sketch for a friend.

Top is a quick sketch, while I am waiting for my breakfast at the restaurant in Portland,  The bottom two are very quick sketches of sceneries during our drive back to San Francisco.

My exhibition at South Pasadena Mercantile Co.

I did a watercolor demo at CTN.  Below is the main demo sketch.

After I finish the demo, I have some extra mins left, so make two more very quick sketches ... not my best work.  Next time, I should time myself better ... 

Below are photos from my gallery show at the South Pasadena Mercantile Company - 

1106 Fair Oaks Ave., South Pasadena, CA 91030.  The show will be  up for a month, please come by visit.  Thank you Scott and Anneline for organizing the exhibition.

I have a wonderful time at CTN.  The best part of the trip is getting to meeting up with many old friends, who I haven't seen for a long time!!  Below are sketches of the attendees at CTN.  The two larger sketches are two of my dear friends at work.
