Photo shoot with Majalah Impiana

Recently I did a photo shoot with Majalah Impiana for the coming April issue. I did step-by-step on two decorative items. One for the garden and the other for in-house decoration. For the in-house decoration I did mixed medium technique on canvas with shells as the motif. For the garden I used watering can as I based painting flowers using enamel paint.

2nd Day of CNY

I presumed all my Chinese friends are busy with visiting relatives and entertaining guests. I also managed to visit a friend of which I had made a small painted cake for the occasion. My family also had our own gathering ala CNY but it all ended when my old mother fell and broke her hip. When we send her to the hospital there were many casualties involved in road accidents at the emergency ward. So people, please be careful when you are on the road.
