Commisioned piece. Deep red rose. Oil on canvas

A commissioned piece. Traditionally painted in the beginning, palette knife works at the ending. Oil on canvas, 30"x24". 2015

And the building continues...

Another step to building the Contemplation series. I've come to realize that what I'm painting is like extreme origami, third removed...(refer to Plato). Thus I refer it to "building". The painting process feels like sculpting... almost... although I know nuts about sculpting... as in real life sculpting... like make a statue... you know...... aaargh now this gave me an idea... wait... what???

Not done but getting there.

The base and under painting is done. Just need to add at least 3-4 layers of foreground. This is a mixed-media piece I'm trying out. Will update soon. Peace and cheers!

New addition to the Contemplation series.

Just started on this piece. Aiming for mixed-media for this one. Still in developing stage. Some new ideas I wanna try on this piece, end result unsure but I pretty much have a goal in mind on how it should look like. Will post again as this progress. Peace.

Just started a facebook page

Recently I decided to start a facebook page for Project Wonderwall. Its been a long time coming. Initially, my intention of setting up this blog was just to record and document my development and progress. Been quite secretive about what I was doing as most of the time; I was mostly experimenting, doing commission and so much of my mental energy spent on teaching, running and developing ideas for ARThaus that I didn't focus much on creating until quite recently this year. And I feels great and liberating to be able to share my art to more people especially to my beloved students whom most likely curious to know what I've been up to.

Well that is that.

This is an unfinished custom-made piece for someone. Deep-red rose 30"x24" oil. Will post again when I finish.

Contemplation... one panel complete.

Completed. Nuff said.

Contemplation series progress

 A development to one of the series. Still incomplete as I think I can do more with it. However, I am quite satisfied with the outcome.

A new one I started. This was impromptu... Felt hyped up and inspired, just needed to hold the brush in my hands and obliterate a brand new canvas. Am very please with this although it took a lot of contemplations whether I should do this or do that or what colours should I use. Turned the canvas around so many times just to feel right... yup. This is still in-progress but I feel I'm getting to where it resonates. This was done in 2 sittings.

Its so inspiring just to work... without directions... without destination. Just let my hands flow without fear of destroying the canvas... just be at one with the moment. When you're just working and be at one with working, all your knowledge from within just arises at the right moments. I love working!
