  In this blog, I’m talking about the painting process of this big painting, as well as what inspired me. First things first, what inspired me to do the big painting, for the first time. All thanks to my work colleague! She’s not really a painter but she actually found her new talent with the painting recently. When she said, many months ago, that she’ll try painting for the first time with the canvas that sat in her house for ages, this canvas is not the small size for the first try, no, it was huge, roughly A1 size. I thought that was very brave of her to do it, especially for the first time. Each time she painted it, she showed me the photos of her process and we talked about what to add, the inspiration, the colours, the failure and success. She even surprised herself with how good her painting is, I also was very impressed by her big painting! Speaking of inspiration, she searched the images search of large paintings, including the birds for me. With every image she showed me,...

Guess what… I finally finished this painting! All that little free time I had since mid-April, it’s finished and framed, looks great, doesn’t it?  Right now, I’m debating whether this painting is going to be on my wall or sell it.

As I mentioned from the beginning, if you’re really interested in buying this painting, let me know in the comment! (in U.K only) Thanks for reading and have a lovely week! (P.s. I looked tiny with my framed artwork, hahaha. 😆)

Hello! And a happy new year! Did you all have a nice start to the new year?  I actually missed Christmas, that festive vibes, all finished until the next 11 months. Anyway, about my 'delay' post that I have started a year ago, well here it is!  The reason is I have that one, a Christmas gift for my uncle, was a new idea of products that I want to include on here, you'll see when you read through. I believe this is going to be a long blog post. Hehe.  First thing first, I have made a video of my artwork! So snazzy, isn't it? Hehe An inspiration of watching sparrows flying around the feeders, a lot of them hiding behind all these leaves of the bushes I have in my garden, waiting a turn to perch on the feeders, it was like playing hide and seek when I was bird watching. Thinking about it, this has been the busiest time when I was working on this artwork. I actually started in late June or early July in 2020! First foster dog happened, returned to work after lockdown happen...
