Awesome Painting

I had an opportunity to teach at the Lorton Arts Center.

Quilt artist / pediatrician was one of my student.

It was her first time making direct style paintings.

This gorgeous painting is one of hers.

And I was honor to receive this as her present. Thanks Karen~

Happy Mother's Day

I received this beautiful poem from my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group yesterday.

And I wanted to share this with you.

Happy mother's day everyone~

Alice in Wonderland

There is a syndrome called 'Alice in Wonderland'.

The syndrome was named in honor of "Alice in Wonderland" author Lewis Carroll, who suffered from migraines. It's believed that much of Alice's experience came from Carroll's own migraine auras.

Most reports are about children experiencing AIWS symptoms, though many people experience it in later life. Many people say they had AIWS symptoms as a child, but 'grew out' of them around their teens.

Little Girl

Available at my Etsy Shop

I used to draw and paint many girl series before. Nowadays I do more of bird series as you probably notice by now..haahaahaa. I did another girl painting a few days ago. And I enjoyed it a lot.

Children's book style Illustration

Once, I was very much interested in children's book style illustration. When my son was about eight months old, I sat him in a high chair and gave him a bowl of cheerios and work on this painting. My son was so happy and busy eating cheerios, he sat by me and let me work on it. Which is impossible thing to do nowadays~ He will let me hold a brush for 2 seconds and it's his time to work on his master pieces on my desk..of course his sister joins him.

My painting theme

After I gained a title called 'Mom', many things has changed including my painting themes and styles.
I do many series of 'Mother and Child/Children'. I have been painting this series for about 3 years now.
My motivation started from wanting to express my love and joy being a mother and it become one of my series theme.
Sometimes I do face hard time letting go of the paintings, especially with 'mother and child/children' ones.

New Years Resolution

I used to have New Years Resolution or perhaps New Years Resolutions.
I stopped making New Years Resolutions about eight years ago.
Why? I never keep it. I may try to do it for a few days and I tell myself...'What was I thinking? exercising everyday? not eating chocolates?' and somehow I convince myself to forget about it.

As far as my knowledge goes... Love bird species can't be alone. That's how they got their name 'Love Bird'. Once I had a love bird named 'Pink Lemonade '. He/She (can't tell the difference unless do the blood test done) was bright orange, pink, and green all over. So my younger sister named her/him pink lemonade. I hand fed the bird. It was very well tamed and loved eating cheerios on my shoulder. After leaving home for college, 'Pink Lemonade' found a new person to be loved by.
