Midnight madness : Hot sake on a wintery night

Hot sake on a wintery night by Mt Fuji

It’s good to dream…

Midnight madness: Hot sake on a wintery evening at Mt Fuji
Acrylic on canvas.
Size: 300 x 230 mm
Price : GBP 180

I call this collection midnight madness because I started painting these at midnight. This is no 2 in a series of 6 which I did during lockdown.

For me, its always hot sake on a wintery night to keep me warm and cheery. We can’t travel for probably a while, but we all have good travel memories of far away places we can tap into. Cheers. Kampai. Have a happy weekend 🍢

Thai Pagoda from Wat Chaiya mangkalaran in Penang

Chedi Chaiya mangkalaram in Penang

Yesterday was a good visit to the temple to say a prayer and to pay respect to my ancestors. Some days I go in feeling unsettled but I always come out feeling at peace and blessed.

This trip I also want to say a big thank you to the temple for giving me a very special gift which I have been searching for a while now. I am thankful πŸ™

Your work is to discover yours, and then with all your heart to give yourself to it ~ Buddha.

Happy Chap Goh Mei. Last day of Chinese new year.

Chinese New year with lion troupe

Happy Chap Goh Mei. Today is the 15th and final day of Chinese new year celebrations. It falls on the snow moon and this auspicious day is also our Chinese Valentine’s day.

Today was such a joyful day chasing lions and dragons with Chelsia Ng πŸ€—

I’m so sad that the lunar new year celebrations have come to an end, but I do hope the year of the pig will be a whole year of celebrating happiness, success and love for us all.

And yes, we believe in magic and unicorns πŸŠπŸŒ•πŸ’›πŸŽ‘πŸ’šπŸ™
