4 Wooden Paintings + My Photography
Here are my 4 paintings for the 3rd Annual Power in Numbers, Nucleus Gallery. My pieces are small like postcard size in acrylics + coloured pencils on wood. DANG, they are quickly SOLD when the exhibit opens! Oh man, I'm crying now. OHMAIIGAWD, I can't believe this. I was like, "God, why did you bless me? Oh why Lord why why? Why did you surprise me? Words fail me, O Lord... ohmaiigawd...!" I'm very proud of my own characters Babu and his kitten Abu.

Here are my previous rough sketches. I must admit that I love these pencil pieces more than coloured ones. Because remember, pencil is my all-the-time favorite medium, hehehe.
Apart from this, I would like to share my photography with you guys. Before I did my rough sketches and coloured ones for the Nucleus Gallery, I got simple ideas from my garden. Nature always inspires me. Every 5 p.m., I always walk outside around my garden, play with my cats (my past cat pet Abu's family), dogs, goats and chickens, check my own old terra cotta sculptures (pigs and dog) and look something weird. It's like Hayao Miyazaki's film, My Neighbor Totoro. Sigh, I wish Totoro could visit and hug me in person at my garden! Then I wanna ride on the Catbus! Eeeeeeee!!!!! I love green and brown colors!
Good night and sweetdreams, guys!

Awww! The cats and chickens are so cuteee! <3 Always wished we had the space for more pets... We had a ton of cats at the old house, but we're in a smaller house now and only the neighbour's cat comes sometimes... :( [We call him Bushy Too, after a previous, very similar-looking kitty at our old house called Bushy.] And we have two rather useless terrapins and some fish in a bowl. XD
Anyway, to answer your question, I'd say because God is very, very kind. And fair. He knows you've been through such tough times and made it till today, and has blessed you with awesome talent and abilities. :D We should all be very thankful of what we have, yea? ^__^
Love all of your paintings, sketches and photos. Favourites are the 1st and 4th painting, and the sketch for painting #4, Babu at the Torii. Landscapes are hard to do! ^^;
These paintings and pencil drawings are all amazing! I especially love the angler fish one. You are very blessed and so am I to be so lucky to know your work.
