Farmers at Work in Long Valley 塱原農民

Another sketch of Long Valley.  This time a close-up of farmers fixing a machine in the field.
另一張塱原速寫！

Autumn Harvest in Long Valley 塱原秋色

Long Valley is located in the northern part of the New Territories and is one of the few remaining freshwater wetlands and farmlands in Hong Kong.  However, this piece of precious natural beauty is under great threat as the Hong Kong Government is planning to develop this area!  What a shame!

塱原濕地位於新界北部，係香港重要嘅淡水濕地同買小見小嘅農地！可恨係香港政府計劃發展塱原一帶，淡水濕地同買小見小嘅農地好可能係不久將來消失！

Painting of Gwan Gung : Work in Progress 正在畫關公

I sketched this Gwan Gung image at the Mong Kok protest site earlier and thought it would be good subject matter for a painting, so I started working on it today.  First the under layer then the blocking of Gwan Gung based on my sketch done on site.

早前係旺角佔領區速寫關公廟傍嘅關公像，一路打算畫張關公油畫，等到今日有時間就開壇作畫！先打底層色，然後對照張速寫確立關公造型，遲啲再上色。

Sketching High Tea at Helena May 速寫梅夫人婦女會大堂餐廳

I went with a group of merry sketchers today to Helena May to sketch, a declared monument in Hong Kong.  After the guided tour, we settled in the nice restaurant there, had tea and sketched the afternoon away.  

今日下午同畫友參觀已被列為法定古蹟的梅夫人婦女會，然後留係大堂餐廳一邊飲茶食餅，一邊速寫。

St Joseph's Church, Central 中環聖若瑟堂

The art deco church fitted with blue walls is an architectural gem in Hong Kong.  Instead of sketching the whole building, I chose to sketch the iconic mural of St. Joseph, the carpenter on the exterior of the church building as the main feature, with quick sketches of the lit candles, the church tower in the shape of a "ship's prow" with a cross on top and the statue of St. Joseph holding baby Jesus placed on two sides of the main sketch.   

中環聖若瑟堂外有一幅充滿南美風格的壁畫。畫完壁畫後再加插三張速寫，分別係蠟燭台、船頭高塔同聖若瑟手抱聖嬰像。
