In Harmony

The painting buddies got together as scheduled today, a Friday, which would have been a public holiday, Labor Day, if we were in Malaysia. But we are not. However, we took time off to have lunch at TGIF instead, joined by Mark and Christina, both being children of Mrs. Kim, and CE. And I got enough time to finish these two paintings of birds, butterflies, and flowers in a harmonious setting.

Enjoy the moment ...

Simply Flowers

There is Simply Orange, a drink we first tried recently that turned out to be nice. Then there are Simply Flowers, patterned after those found in Elaborated Style of Flower and Bird Paintings by Yu-shia Liou (2001).

Fun in the sun

Birds in Twosome

Birds are popular as symbols as in mascots (The Arizona Cardinals, a professional football team), and names of entities (Garuda, a mythical bird used as the symbol of the Indonesian airline), and even of cities (Phoenix, AZ, another mythical bird). But they appear singly in these instances. As for my paintings for today, they are twosome, as in couples, a binary system.

Bird and Leave painting in tribute to Earth Day

Yesterday (April 22) was Earth Day. Therefore, I would like to dedicate these simple paintings of cheery birds and crimson leaves to mark this momentous day of celebrating the only Earth that we know, the blue planet that nourishes all lives.

The Two Bs in Sync

The two Bs are the bamboo and the birds, juxtaposing the graceful lightness of perched birds and the resilience of the pliant bamboo.
