Welcome to Fifth Son Studio
I am the Fifth Son of my father and have chosen that name as my working title for all efforts related to my Chinese Brush paintings.
After almost 50 years in the computer industry, I have concentrated my efforts in the creation of fine art. My original works in watercolors and pastels were to present the essence of the subject under study. The spiritual aspects of Chinese Brush and feeling of oneness with the process of painting landscapes or flowers and birds are a calming influence in my life and my other artistic endeavors. One of my paintings from the 2009 Chinese Painting Guild's exhibition Spirit Of The East at the Bedford Library was featured in a local article about that show. It has also appeared on a Chinese web site that was linked to contemporary artists. |
At our annual luncheon this year I received the honor of being elected Vice President of the Chinese Painting Guild.
I continue to attend a variety of art classes in different venues, including:
Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center
Landscape and also Birds and Flowers with Qingxion Ma
Sue Yang at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA
Newton Adult Education and other workshops as they become available.
Since I also do my own mounting, matting and framing I can offer my artwork at modest rates.
All works are also available unframed and or unmatted. The process of mounting rice paper on a more substantial backing is almost an art in itself, taking 2 days or more for the work to set.
Check back often as new paintings will be listed as they are signed.
We have decided for the moment at least to not proceed with direct on line sales through credit agencys. I can still be contacted directly by phone or E-mail for pricing and delivery options.
Thank you for your patience.

Picture below is of me at the 2008 Beacon Hill Art Walk
We sold several framed works at this show and in addition could have sold the bicycle a number of times.
Unfortunately it wasn't mine and it was securely locked to the fence.
This is an outdoor show that takes place on the first Sun. of June yearly with about 100 artists ensconced in the alleys and gardens and nooks and crannies of the North Slope of the Beacon Hill area of Boston. This was my first there and I found it to be great fun, even explaining my work to people that didn't purchase. It is always interesting to see the reaction of Chinese observers when they realize that this artist is not.
