The Theater Club

A idea which I have been playing around for a while ... and at last ... this one is the final version. Sometimes I do wish there is an "Undo" button or "layers", when my brain keeps changing idea and cooking up new stuffs in my head or when I am more then half way through or finish the whole thing!!

The Cardinal

I am trying to create a new set of paintings for my solo small wall show at Hive Gallery in March. I am not going to throw away the paintings I did earlier ... those may save for the monthly show there later.

Trying new themes ... and trying new technique as well ... below are sketches, failure ... and the WIP of the final painting!!

Last of the set!

I just give my blog a huge make-over. This is the first time in 5 years!! Can't believe so many years have passed, since the day my best friend, Amy introduced me to "Blog." In these 5 years, I have the pleasure meeting many amazing artists and wonderful new friends around the world via the blogging community. It has been a wonderful experience.

Year of Tiger

This is a piece for my own show at Hive in March. I will be the March small wall feature artist at the Hive Gallery. The art style of this painting is inspired by chinese folk arts and traditional chinese architecture design. All the decorative patterns in the paintings are chinese writings, which represent blessing, prosperity and fraternity. They are also the traditional Chinese New Year blessing.

My artwork is feature in the International Museum of Women - Economica web-site. Please come by and check it out!!

BTW, Girls Drawin Girls has helped organize a charity art auction to benefit the American Red Cross in helping send relief efforts to Haiti in the wake of last week's devastating earthquake. If you are interested to contribute as an artist or purchase the artwork for donation, please visit their Charity Sale web-site at Art of Haiti.

Have a wonderful weekends everyone!!

All my new paintings are now added in the painting section of my web-site.
