Group exhibition in my hometown...

In response to the "Music, dance and cinema" theme of this group exhibition, I submitted this painting dating back a few years...

It's always interesting to re-look at one's previous works with a new objectivity stemming from the passage of time...

Hard day's work!

I spent the greater part of last few week working outdoors (landscaping) after the installation of a SPA...

Looks like we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Note to self: "What am I gonna do next in terms of my art? This question remains unanswered for now!"

Renovations are making a dent on my painting time!

I've had very little time to paint lately, due to a major house renovation project. Nonetheless, I found the time to take a piece of loose raw cotton (no gesso) and paste Chinese paper on it to see the impact of this new surface on paint application and textural effects...

This technique, which is an offshoot of my previous collage approach, definitely has potential. In actuality, I was investigating the possibility of an additional painting for my US flag series. Looks like my recent live model drawing classes may very well have an influence on my future art! Based on my recent exploratory work though, deconstruction of the image (by whatever means) will remain a prime consideration.

Note to self: "After 5-6 years of exploratory work, I feel the need to bring a little more focus into my art. Combining the best elements of my best recent works could contribute to this."
