I'll be going to China to visit my parents and my sister. It is the first time to show off my baby as well. I am so looking forward to it.
Singapore has major four races. They are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Euroasian. I am very much influenced by the culture of other races.
I love Indian arts, food and other things very much. After I colored this painting, I think I have to call it Indian Summer. The strong color combination reminds me of Indian paintings.
Initially I am thinking of call it "In the Garden".
Today I would like to paint with brush and acrylic very much. After a while mostly using computer, I miss using acrylic very much.
I went to shopping yesterday and got back with not so many new clothes, but some fabric images from the clothes I saw. I was so busy with taking photos and felt so embarrassed that I didn't buy the things that I should.
I attached some images here:

This is print is produced from a ink drawing and then I digitally color it I found that in order to make this method successful, you need to have a good subject and composition.
Have a nice weekend for everyone!
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.
I haven't draw for very long time. This is one that I draw in ink and then digitally color it. I like draw in ink, the black lines gives everything good shape.
Today I caught a happy moment of baby playing with my Indonesia helper Ida. Ida was trying to wrap her batik scarf she inherited from her grandmother on my baby's head. They were really happy doing this.
The batik scarf is really beautiful. It is the inspiration of today's piece. I painted the tree in Acrylic and then digitally tweak it.
I always find difficult to make nice colors in my paintings. I just read a book about using colors for artist. One point is very useful to me. It tells me to gather color references. I usually cut out from magazine to gather nice looking colors and their combination. I think it is very useful to me.
Today's color reference is depicted in here that I gathered from a picture in a magazine.
It would be nice to hear others on how you manage your colors.

This is my first try to create still-life using digital art. I love the effect it gives. Very simple, clean and pretty.

This is a collage of my watercolor painting of the fluffy flower and digital illustration. I love the shape of the fluffy flower and the beautiful image they create. Combined with watercolor texture, they are really beautiful!
