Happy Snake Year!


I celebrated Chinese New Year by painting some 'red envelopes'. In China red envelopes are New Year's gifts, people put some money in and give them to children, also bosses can give them to their subordinates. I really enjoyed painting these detailed images with tiny brush and gold paint, in addition to this snake I painted a peony, a plum tree, and two phoenix envelopes.

Went to Camden Beach yesterday with a bunch of artist friends. It is a rooftop with fine sand, deckchairs, beach huts and expensive drinks. It was a cold and windy day but at least it didn't start raining.
