It's good to have a deadline....Current show at WAH Center

I finished this piece for my current group show in Willamsburg.

I finished at 1 pm on 1/11/2011 and this is the first piece this year. (well, was not 1:11, more like 1:52)

I actually started this piece on November of 2009 when I was an artist in resident of New York Mills regional cultural center. This is one of three series. Here are other two finished work with the new work with unfinished state.

My one month residency in a little town in Minnesota was productive, but after I came back to New York, I did not touch this yellow piece for a year until I have this group show.

I always knew what I wanted to do with the piece, adding cloud and water elements, yet to actually finish up, I needed to have a deadline.

I am happy with the result, and i hope you can come to the show. I also have another piece I did last September.
