New works from my studio corner

 I'm in the midst of creating new birds painting and working on new letters from squirrel to badger as well. I truly hope to publish my Letters from Squirrel this year or next. So yes, I am working on new penguin and puffin watercolour paintings. I'll update on my works again. Take care, my friends.

Tuscany, Italy, studio in the making, working on picture book behind the scene

Well, they are progressing at a relatively slow pace - Tuscany, Italy landscape watercolour paintings.

And that's behind the scene... Lots of papers and papers...working on my brown bear and friends picture book and Letters from Squirrel as well... That's in 1st floor room, that's the only room that has air-conditioner! Still want to thank God for it. I'm still in the midst of setting up my studio corner and a small library as well. There is a large table in the dining area (downstair) but there is no air-conditioner there and so when the weather is too hot I simply have to move to a cooler area to work. Would you pray for my work? Hopefully I can get my book(s) done and publish in 2025. I haven't get in touch with any literary agency or publisher yet. May God guide my every step.

The sun is shining and really love to see the lovely clouds and trees. I hope you are well wherever you are now.

 

My working desk, cherry tomato plants and greeting cards

 A little glimpse into my working and study desk...

 This is my cherry tomato plants which are spreading far and wide to the north, south, east and west. I know I really should build something for the plants to start climbing and bear fruits.

I have recently created some handmade greeting cards. This is pelican (watercolour painting) card.

This is happy birthday card. Pig and squirrel celebrate penguin's birthday with a cake.

Two sheep posting letters card.

The two sheep go to sleep after long hours of posting letters.

It is a New Day

It is a new day and it is Saturday here. I'm starting a new painting later, it is a deer watercolour painting.

Little old red bird was looking at some of my paintings and illustrations yesterday evening.

 

My Small Studio

 

My rented studio is a not very large unit, it is less than 500sqft. And here is a corner where you can see part of my kitchen (left side) and of the right is part of my living room (that is a daybed). Well, what I really wanted to write about in this post is that I really look forward to getting, most likely, a custom made kitchen high stool which is normally called a bar stool. What happened now is that I discovered the height of normal bar stool that one can normally get from, say, IKEA, is not compatible with the height of my kitchen cabinet. So, I can only go for a custom made one. And i have never made a furniture in my entire life! I've watched how some people are so creative where they know how to make furniture even a small wooden house. 

The reason why I want a bar stool to be placed in this special corner is the quiet or tranquillity that this small corner gives me. This is something hard to explain. I just feel extraordinary at peace when I sit at this corner of the kitchen. This corner will assist me to write ,draw and paint with peace of mind.

New Studio

 It has been quite awhile since my last post. And I'm glad to return to my blog today. I've recently, on Tuesday evening moved to a one room condominium. It is facing a beautiful hill. This would be my new studio where I'll continue my journey of art and story-writing.

Every morning, before sunrise, the cute ravens will start talking on top of the trees right in front of my condominium. I've no idea what were they discussing or conversing about, but their cute sound has really brought no little joy to my heart. Not forgetting the sweet morning chorus of insects, mainly crickets. I'm grateful for this beautiful place.
