I worked from a black and white photo of an old-fashioned cottage with a thatched roof. Interesting exercise to make it "quaint and colorful".

About Me
- Tina Chong
- I grew up outside of Chicago, Illinois, when there were still patches of open prairie and grain elevators in the suburbs. I moved to Los Angeles in my teenage years and have lived in California ever since. I am primarily a self-taught artist and have been drawing and painting since I was 3 or 4 years old. My method is to focus on one medium at at a time until I fell reasonably proficient. I work within the classical and impressionistic tradition of landscape, figure and still life painting. My training does include course work at Blackburn College, Il., Associates in Art, Los Angeles, and continued studies under award-winning watercolorist Vivienne Oldknow. I am a member of the Oil Painters of America. I strive to paint beautiful, color infused images that bring tranquility and a meditative atmosphere to the home environment. While I find the process of creativity both stimulating and challenging, it is my ultimate satisfaction to capture the elemental interactions of nature and life in a moment of time. My subject matter is drawn from the world around me and from photographs, many shot by my husband, Tony Chong. You will see many of his photographs on this blog.
