2022 is the Year of the Tiger. I especially painted this piece before the Chinese New Year arrives. In this piece, I depict a tiger high up on the mountain and regally walks down the cliff of the mountain with ease. The pine tree is a symbol of longevity and for this pine tree which thrives high up on the mountain, I want to convey strength and toughness as well. Wish you all a great Year of the Tiger!

The sculptures of the Animal Wall were sculpted by two sculptors. One group was done by Thomas Nicholls in 1891 and the other group was done by Alexander Carrick in 1931. The Lioness belongs to the first group of sculptures.

It's an urban sketch I did in 2019 during Chinese New Year! Even though the flower market wasn't big when compared with the others such as the flower market at Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island, this flower market was a must visit during Chinese New Year in Sai Kung Town! Various festive flowers were put together for people to admire and to purchase! I seized this opportunity to sketch the many festive flowers! Such a happy experience!

Castell Coch / Castle Coch is a beautiful architectural gem in Wales! I visited this fantastic castle earlier and did a black-and-white sketch there. Based on the sketch reference, I painted this piece with watercolour and added in details with ink pens. I hope you like it!:)
Another new art print Thanks to my friend’s invitation, I had a great day out to this small charming town of Llantwit Major in South Wales! After exploring the quiet alleys of the town, I visited the charming church of St Illtyd’s which is a church complex in Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, southeast Wales. According to the information I got and my friend’s explanation, It is located at the site of the oldest college in the United Kingdom believed to have been founded by St Illtud c. AD 508. I settled in the garden of remembrance which gave me the great view of the church tower with rustic walls in front of me.

I walked for an hour from Cardiff city centre to Llandaff Cathedral to sketch on 19 September. The sunlight again created this magical afternoon which provided me with fantastic lights and shadows. What’s even better was the choir singing heavenly songs which could be heard even outside the cathedral.

This piece is a live sketch painting, an urban sketch, that I did on location at Caffi Maes right in front of Caernafon Castle back in 2017. It was a bright happy sunny afternoon and I really enjoyed sketching and chatting with visitors and locals at Caffi Maes there.

Cows can easily be spotted in Sai Kung district in Hong Kong. In the past many years I lived in Sai Kung, I met them from time to time, often just in the streets of Sai Kung Town. I like their mild temperament and how they like to walk around in a pack. I used watercolour to paint this piece to depict this iconic creature, a member of wild Hong Kong.
