Interview in Dawanda Blog

I am so delighted to read my interview in Dawanda Blog about my art, inspiration and products. If you are interested, please read it there.

I am so happy that my art is well accepted in the Europe hand-made site. It inspires me to continue to work harder and develop new products.

St. Joseph Kindergarten and Girl and Deer Flower Landscape Print and Laptop Skin

 

Order the Print

I am planning for the painting to be hang in the living room of my new home. This is the one that I am going to paint. The Girl and Deer. I try out the painting in the computer first. The actual painting will be in acrylic on stretched canvas.

Sometime, the painting is almost the same with the computer version, sometime it is a bit different. I think the acrylic painting has more texture and is not as even as the computer version.

St. Joseph Church Kindergarten

For the last few days I spent most of the time visiting kindergartens and child care centers and try to locate an ideal place for my daughter.

I have only two important criteria for an ideal school. They are 1) It ideally should have a big open space that do not need air-condition all the time. 2). It has caring and skillful staff.

I am delight to find the St. Joseph Churge Kindergarten. In a small country like Singapore, it is very difficult to find a kindergarten with bright, airy and very big class rooms and playground. It is also far from main road which means less traffic pollution and noise.

Relaxing in a Pond Bird Flower Garden Pink Print and Laptop Skin

This is the laptop skin of bird in the pond in pink version. There are many blue version printed. But this is the first time the pink is printed. It is really beautiful when you look at the actual print with very clear details. I didn't put it as a print in my store as I feel that the pink is not so nice. But after look at the print, I think it is perfectly beautiful as a print. Now it is here in the store and you just need to click the link below to order.

This is for the love of calla lily that is made from the original watercolor painting. I think it is cool to wear an original watercolor painting pendant.

It's Friday again and the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival is near the corner. Which all of us have a wonderful weekend and festival.

Calla Lilies Flower Garden Original Watercolor Painting

Order the Painting

I have painted several calla lilies before. One was just sold recently. It reminds me that I really love to paint this flower.

Busy on looking for a nursery school for my baby. I guess I won't be able to spend much time on painting. But I do have a new project line up that is to paint a very large size canvas painting for the living room in my new home.  I am very excited about it.

Size: 9 x 12/23 x 31cm.

Merry-go-Round: What's Your Next Chapter?

It's time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of 9 artists/crafts-women as they link around the world and tell you a little about their lives in art and craft.
 
This month topic is: What's Your Next Chapter?

This is a really excellent question. I am also always asking myself what is my next chapter? I have been producing and selling art for about 3 years. I am very happy that I did produce some pieces of art that I love and some prints that are selling very well. But there is so much need to be improved and to learn.

 

Reading in the Library

Our family have moved to an apartment and my baby daughter is going to go  to a nursery school soon. She is going to have a new chapter in her life and so am I. I will spend more time with her and chauffeur her around. This is the most most important thing for me currently.

As for my art, I'll concentrate more on experimenting on new ways of expressing. Recently I have been using soften ways of creating dreamy romantic birds paintings. I also would like to try to create a character such as the ones in Spring and Girl and Peony. Of course, I'll continue to work on the things that are well accepted.

That's all from mine. Please do read from the following to find out more about others on what their next chapter.

I love to create soft effect with flowers and birds. This one is inspired by the pretty small black flowers. I found that it is very beautiful with a green field. I add poppies to make it more interesting.

The original print is vertical orientation. If you need a horizontal orientation print, please write to me.

New Studio and Dreaming Poppy Flower Laptop Skin

Order the Skins

I have several requests on transforming the Dreaming Poppy into laptop skin. The original orientation is vertical. Finally I took some time to make it after settling down in the new house.

I got a new studio in the apartment with one of the rooms. It is small, but quite cozy and enough for me to paint and put up painting materials and books.

The photo shows a  corner of the studio with bookshelves and my paintings.

We all love the new place very much. I especally like the balcony as there is a play ground downstairs and I can watch my baby playing from the balcony.
