Sneaking glances.  A cropped preview.

Part of an older piece (2ish yrs?), “Contemplating Destined Coordinates” that I’ll also be putting in the June Copro show.

Sorry, I’ve been neglecting my WordPress account and using my Tumblr blog http://chrystalchan.tumblr.com/ more often due to convenience.  (My instagram account hooks up straight to it!)  But, I will still keep this up to date…just a bit slower.  I’ll be posting one more blog post right after this, for information of the upcoming show this Saturday!  Stay tuned!

 

A Wine! A Thumbnail and a Doodle

My painting, ‘Clearing Clouds’ is on a wine bottle : )!!  The wine is called ‘Head in the Clouds’ : ).  It is made by Behrens Family Winery in St. Helena, California (part of Napa Valley).  Can’t wait to try it. Thanks Les!

Here is a little preview thumbnail of the last painting I’m working on for the featured spot at Copro Gallery in June.

This is a quick doodle from my head.
