Village Girl Wearing Qi Pao and Peony Garden Landscape Figurative Print and Laptop Skin

Order the Print

Chinese new year is near. I am looking for some new cloth to wear. When I was at skinny time before having my baby, I can wear very tiny qi pao. But now I put on quite some weight and need to buy bigger one. The girl is inspired by my thinking of buying a new qi pao and new year tradition. Peony is an auspicious flower that brings wealth and longevity. It is a beloved flower for the new year.

The mood of the painting is from the above photo. I instantly fall in love with the picture when I saw it from the Internet.

The detail of the girl is as the follows:

The neighborhood stores have put on red colors and new year plants for sale. It is very interesting through all the years that the last plant will just be sold in the new year eve.

This is a very simple and abstract square glass pendant. It measures 1 x 1"/2.5 x 2.5cm. I like the white background. It is pure and clean. The glass tile is from AnnieHowes. It is a handmade tile with very smooth and beautiful edges.

Chinese New Year is near. It is in the same day with Valentines Day. I start to do some preparation such as buying auspicious plants and new year biscuits and finger food. I love to visit the new year market and feel the joy of another new year.

Tulip Garden Flower Artist Laptop Skin and Root Canal Treatment

 

Order the Laptop Skin

This is the Tulip Laptop Skin that I made for a customer order. If you love tulip, it is a lovely skin to have.

I went for my root canal treatment today in National Dental Center. I had my root canal treatment done at a neighborhood clinic and I still feel painful at the tooth. Thus I think I should seek some specialist help and went to the NDC.

To my surprise, the cost at the NDC is same or a bit lower than the neighborhood clinic. However the NDC is done by the specialist Endodontist with very special equipment that can look through your tooth nerve canal clearly. The clinic doctor is not a Endodonitst and doesn't have such equipment.

I always heard from my friends or on Internet that specialist root canal treatment costs much more. But in Singapore, this may not be the case and moreover the doctor is much more experienced because she is doing the treatment everyday. I guess next time, I should straight away go to the specialist although it is much more troublesome and time consuming for me to get there. Sometime, being lazy will cost you more time and money.

Lily Pond Flower Garden Original Watercolor Painting

 

Order The Painting

I took some photos from a trip to the Singapore Botanical Garden last weekend. I plan to paint some of them that are pretty to me. The lily pond is one of them.

I just bought a small fish tank because baby loves looking at fishes. The fishes living inside are called Guppy which is a type of fish that Singapore exports a lot. By the way, Singapore is one of the biggest countries that export tropical aquarium fishes.

I would love to have a dog at home but am afraid that I have no time to take care of it. The fishes will be the only pet at the moment.

Watercolor on paper. Size: 5 x 7/13 x 18cm.

Many New Sizes of Prints are Introduced in the Lily Pang Art and Design Store

Browse through Prints

I found that sometime it is much better to have a square shape of print instead of rectangle one. Sometime, you may need bigger size prints such as 10 x 10, 12 x 12 or 12 x 18.

I introduce these new sizes in my store. There are two more types of prints:

1. Small Prints. They range from 5 x 7 to 8 x 11. There are 5 sizes you can choose from. They are
   [1]. 5 x 7/13 x 18cm, paper size: 5.5 x 8.5
   [2]. 6 x 6"/15 x 15cm, paper size: 8.5 x 11 (Letter)
   [3]. 8 x 10"/20 x 25cm, paper size 8.5 x 11 (Letter)
   [4]. 8 x 11"/20 x 28cm, paper size: 8.5 x 11.5 (A4)
   [5]. 8 x 8/20 x 20cm, paper size: 8.5 x 11 (Letter)
   The prints are printed on heavy art paper with pigment ink.
2. Big Prints. There are 4 sizes you can choose from. They are:
   [1]. 10 x 10"/25 x 25cm
   [2]. 11 x 14"/28 x 35cm
   [3]. 12 x 12"/30 x 30cm
   [4]. 12 x 18"/30 x 46cm
   The big prints are printed on heavy art paper with pigment ink.  The surface is laminated so that it protect the print against dirt such as finger prints. It also enhance the durability of the prints.

I will arrange the design to fit perfectly to the size of the print you choose. The big prints are not printed from enlarged small print. I have very large design files for all the prints that are carter to print very big prints. Thus, the quality of the prints are guaranteed.

With the LPWB and LLP, now there are 4 types of prints in my store. To find out more and see an example, please browse through Print Section in my store.

Spring is coming and magnolia is one of  the earliest to have flowers. I love magnolia. It is very elegant without any green leaves.

Order the Skin

I have been working on new print sizes these days. I'll write about the details in next post. Basically I try to introduce various sizes of prints smaller, square and bigger ones.

Little Flower on Port Flower Garden Original Watercolor Painting and Baby's New Semaster

I plucked this small flower plant, just very small part of the plant,  from one of my friend's garden and planted here in a small port in my balcony. It has very lovely flower and the leaves smell very good. It is kind of leaves that make message oil.

Now it grows so well in my port and starts to flower recently. I like many types of Singapore plants because it is so easy to populate them. You just need to pluck them from someone's port or roadside and they will grow in your port. I didn't find many types of such plants in China before.

Order the Painting

It is just so convenient for me to paint the port. It is a small sized painting measures 5 x 7"/13 x 18cm.

I spent half a day in the last two days in my baby daughter's pre-nursery school. Her new semester just started in St. Joseph's Kindergarten this Monday. There are many new students joining in from the new year. The class is a bit chaotic with many children crying and looking for parents.

School Pond and Lovely School Uniform

My baby seems much more mature now that she didn't cry at all. She enjoys very much on various school activities. Sometime when I saw some newborns and I try to remember how she looked when she was just born and how much I looked forward for her to walk and talk. Now she can run and jump and going to school. It will be very soon that she grows up.
