Blue is a colour that is ever present in nature; it is the colour of the sky and the sea, of ice and water.

It can evoke serenity, or convey drama. The images here come from various series and range in style and theme, but they all celebrate the colour blue as a critical element of their story.

These one-of-a-kind artworks from Portugal, Israel, France and Belgium combine photography and painting.

Treating my photograph as the canvas, I interpret the picture as I repaint it by hand digitally in layers to achieve washes, enlarging the image to paint pixel by pixel where detail requires. Four of them are featured in my second book, Five: Wuxing Elements in Art and Words.
