The ones for SSEAYP 2001 were given away to host families in Japan, Philippines and Brunei. The remaining three were given to friends (our batch didn't complete the entire journey. We missed Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam). In the off-chance that you have one of the painting and you are reading this post, leave a comment. I'd love to know if you still have it : )
Oh, and if you know the names of the orchids, leave a comment. I copied them from a book but forgot to write down their names.

This was a still-life study of plastic flowers that were in a vase, on top of the TV cabinet at my parent's place. I remember in was during school term break. For some reason, I took particular notice of the flowers even though they had been there for ages. One of those artist-moments when you have that feeling of "Hey, I think I can draw/ paint this!"

Must have given this to another PY on the ship.
You know, since Blogger does not allow me to create categories like Moveable Type or Typepad, I was thinking of creating another blog for my art-related posts. Do you know of such blogs? Please leave a url as a comment.
Try Wordpress.com, they offer free accounts also like blogger.
ReplyDeleteHey brother!
ReplyDeleteDid not see this before in your cd collection the other time when you came. Looks pro from the blog siah! Try auctioning it...might get reply from potential buyers :)
reminds me of the time we did watercolour in our secondary school days...too bad we threw away so many of them...:)
Nice work Ivan. I didn't know you have such an artistic side too.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things which I will like to feature in our upcoming museums/heritage blog are stuff like this. Personal collections, artworks and memorabilia. Some of these things are priceless.
Thanks for the comments, all. You know, I look at these paintings again and I wonder if I can produce a similar quality... been out of practice. Probably need to fast and meditate :)
