It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...

And I'm wearing a jumper today! 😅 As it's May this month, I have been thinking about that wildflower in my home garden, and I noticed that it hasn't blossomed yet. It's just all green leaves. This photo was taken today. And this photo was taken in June 2018. You can see many pink flowers over the wall and on the tree. This photo was taken in June 2015.                               And, even this one was taken in May 2018.  The dog rose flower habitually start in May and drop after August. I thought about the dog rose that I drew them and I also recorded my drawing in timelapse. It's interesting to see my drawing at such a speed, as I've seen many artists, painters, graphics and illustrators do this so I like to try it myself. This is the ...
