Small Village Home Sweet Home

I managed to finished the Small Village today. I took away the pond because I feel that the houses are the focal point. With the pond, the focal point is changed to the pond which is very messy.

 The Laminated Print mounted on Wood Block (LPWB) is very cute, isn't it?

A Good Day Laptop Skin and Small Village - Work in Progress II

Order the Laptop Skin

This is the A Good Day laptop skin. I changed a bit to fit to the size of 10" x 15"/26 x 38cm format.

I managed to do some work on the small village. I still need to work on the pond and the sky. It is much prettier than the houses that my grandmother had lived.

Small Village - Work in Progress

This is a sketch I did a while ago for a small village. I always wanted to paint the small mountain area village where my late grandmother has lived. I spent my childhood running around the field, mountain and small rivers, playing in the pond in front of the houses.

After the sketch, I haven't put it in a painting yet. I cannot find a good way to or nice painting "language" to depict the scenery.

Recently I get some inspiration from some doodle work. See the example below.

I visualize that I can put the Small Village in this type of painting language nicely. Let's see if I can make it work. I'll work on this piece these days.

This is another design that is requested by my customers to add it into the laptop skin. This painting tries to depict Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata while I was listening to the music on a rainy day. The original print is vertical orientation. If you need a horizontal orientation print, please write to me.

It's Friday again and a relaxing day. I am planning to attend a eBay seminar tonight and haven't done anything except printing these two 8 x 10.5 size prints today.

The prints are from "Flower and Moon Night" and "In the Flower Mountain" paintings.

If you are interested in the laptop skins of the same design, you can order them here:

I feel that it is time consuming to sell things in eBay and haven't try eBay harder. I would like to explore a little bit to see if it is viable for me to sell on eBay as well.

Among the Flowers and Laptop Skins

This is inspired by the intricate petals of the flowers. This type of plants generate tiny sesame seeds and the flowers bloom from bottom to top slowly.In Chinese new year, we wish people's life resembling the sesame plants that are getting better and better.

Pretty in a Row

The rose tree in a row format. It is another interesting arrangement. Landscape is so interesting. There are so many possibilities.

Rose Field

This is an evolution from yesterdays' Simple Flower. It just evolved with a mountain first. Later I replaced flowers with trees which are inspired by a children book I bought for my baby.

I had a bit problem with what to put in the mountains. It must be as elegant as the tree. I tried with some lines and finally with this simple roses. A field of roses that is beautiful.

Flower Mountain

I finished half way on the illustration yesterday. Today I continued with the flower and the mountain.

With the same topic with painting and digital illustration, I wonder which one you like. I like both. The illustration has the modern clean feeling. It suits a modern environment while painting suits a home with traditional style.

Moonlight Sonata

I was playing with my baby on piano and demo to her the famous Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Suddenly I thought why not I paint one for the music.Painting with music is a way that many artists do. I like to do it as well. It is really nice.Friday again and most important it is a bright sunny day. It will be a beach and park time for me and my baby. We will go out with our neighbor babies and have some great time.

Talking about my neighbors, I feel so embarrassed yesterday. One of them just came back from a vocation and brought some new clothes for my baby as gifts. I want to take only one because I don't feel good to take all of them. But I don't know how to reject just said that the others are not suitable. Sigh, I hope she won't get hurt. I always find difficult to reject other people's hospitality.

Bridge

I love curves of some old bridges, especially those from my home town. This illustration is designed from a photo of one of the bridges.

A Small Village

This is a computer illustration. I used a reference for this piece from a photo in a magazine. It is a flight magazine I read when I came back from China.

To constantly have ideas to create new work, I have to look out to everything that come to my sight.

In the Flower Mountain

First I am very happy today that one of the great blogs in Singapore "Singapore Kids Places" wrote an article about my work. Thank you very much Milly.

If you want to have some fun places to go, especially if you have kids, I think it is a very good site to give you a good idea. If you plan to visit Singapore, read this site which gives much intimate details from a resident here.

About this painting, this is inspired from the lines that I draw from the previous paintings. I found that lines and circles always give beautiful effect.

I also found one artist who likes to use circles as well. His name is LukeTaaffe. You can visit his paintings from the RedBubble. I just include one for your references:
I love his work.

I am thinking of to paint the paintings in Acrylic to see how different it will be.

In the Fruit Tree Mountain

Doesn't it give a mood of holiday? I am looking forward to a trip to my hometown China next month. This is the mood I am in now. Heee..

This is one that I totally digitally draw it. I don't have a tablet yet and use mouse to do it. It is quite tiring. I got some muscle pain in my shoulder.
