Another quick watercolour completed last week
I don’t think I have shared this – a quick acrylics painting completed last year
And finally, one of my 3 pieces completed with pin painstakingly piercing a piece of A6 size paper. They were exploratory pieces, which I was hoping would take me somewhere…. but that hasn’t happened yet.
Happy Weekend.

It’s Paint Party Friday again, and here’s another acrylics painting in my bird series…
I arrived in Kuala Lumpur to catch up with my family. Here are a few random photos. My Mom’s prawns (above) was delicious.
She cooked a yummy meal. From top left, prawn curry, fried beans, boiled eggs and fried prawns. These were served with jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk.
Some photos taken in the garden…
This was mine, before I left Kuala Lumpur. It has since grown up a lot under my Mom’s care.
My brother’s beautiful palm tree

I keep calling him “Tommy”, because it makes me think of a boy who is pleased with himself, and is thinking of the next mischief to get into…
Do you know the Australian nursery rhyme? Here goes…
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be
The Golden Gate Bridge in silhouette… the family seemed to be having a nice day out last Saturday.

How’s your week? I have had a very busy week, and the painting that I started this week is still sitting on the easel. The above was completed last week. Maybe you remember the bird from my last post, but the idea is evolving and I am rather excited about it…
Today, I am sharing some photos taken in Alameda, which is located in the heart of San Francisco Bay.
We took a bus there, then looked around on foot. I love their waterways…
It was a long walk but we had fun. I love the autumn colours.
As you can see, there are some nice residential areas here.
Some photos for Weekend Reflections.

Another 2 birds for Paint Party Friday.
And some water drops for Weekend Reflections.
I am completing some paintings related to birds now (you might be sensing that already). What better way to practise and find my style, by painting a fun subject.
Anyway, I found the guy (above) at the San Diego Zoo, and I wouldn’t want to meet when I am alone. He was not pink, but I thought I’d dress him up.

Having said that I’m painting birds now… well, I could not resist painting this squirrel. He’s getting all dressed up for Christmas, in case you are wondering.
Oh, hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday, and Happy Weekend.

There is a lake near our apartment, where lots of birds gather. I am not sure what specie this one is, but it didn’t look very happy. Poor birdie was all alone amongst the pigeons, so I thought it should have a friend.

This is Rotunda (no prize for guessing where her name comes from), a colourful pigeon I met by the lake.
Happy Paint Party Friday, and have a great weekend.

I am remembering the wonderful dumplings we had for breakfast and lunch in China. Yummy, hot, steamy, meaty, satisfying, delicious dumplings.
Not my best painting, but I am enjoying the process, and learning a lot. I plan to upload my work at least once a week, so hopefully over time I will be able to see some improvements….

Another small but really fun piece. Please visit Creative Every Day for blogs on creative activities.

After being stuck with a bigger piece for a while (which I am finding to be quite a challenge to complete), I was happy to paint a small one and finish it within the day. Not a subject that I would normally choose, but it was nice to do something a little different, and definitely good practice.
