Art Print, Tiger on the Mountain 松山峭壁虎生威

Finished!  畫完! 

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!

Wooden Framed Art Print:  Trying something new this time! As a cat lover, I am experimenting with the idea of putting cats in various locations. I always find two cats sitting together intimately and observing the world an interesting idea! For this piece, I chose Big Ben at night as the setting. Hope you like this framed art print!

Sculpted by Thomas Nicholls, the Bear is one of the 15 animal sculptures of the Animal Wall of Cardiff Castle. The eyes which seem to be made of glass when I looked at them on location, really added life to the sculpture!

The wolf is one of the 15 animal sculptures of the Animal Wall of Cardiff Castle.

One group was done by Thomas Nicholls in 1891 and the other group was done by Alexander Carrick in 1931. This Lion belongs to the first group of sculptures.

I would slow down every time to look at the beautiful sculptures at the Animal Wall outside Cardiff Castle! Inspired by these sculptures, I painted the whole series, all 15 of them. This one is the Lioness. Majestic and calm! As if she's quietly observing something far from her. Or is she standing guard to protect her young ones?

UK Wild Life Art, Coot in Pond

I visited Tredegar House Park a few days ago and was delighted as always to see the many waterbirds swimming in the lake there. I took photos of some of them and I was particularly drawn to this coot! I thought it's black body and white head together with the bare branches would make a great Japanese style painting. I used Japanese sumi watercolour/ink to create this piece.

This is an urban sketch of the beautiful Angel Hotel in Cardiff that I did in 2018 summer. I sat on the pavement facing the entrance of the hotel and in the background I included a bit of the tower of Cardiff Castle. It gives a sense of location to the hotel. I really liked the lights and shadows on this bright sunny day!
