Flowers make me happy. I literally get well from sickness when presented with a bunch. Hence, flowers were my initial (till now anyway) subject when I just suddenly found out that I could paint. This spring bouquet is among my favorite work of art. Maybe because it was one of the easiest and the most enjoyable I had done. Well, for me that’s art, easy, fun & enjoyable. I don’t go for time consuming, meticulous obra maestras or those classified as realism and end up not wanting to paint anymore. That’s why I categorize myself to be a loose or impressionist artist.

 IMG_1887.jpg |  DIY CardUsing vegetable as stamp is a form of art which dates back to my elementary school days. Commonly utilized were cuts of okra or celery stalk dunked on paint and pressed on paper to reveal a beautiful pattern. Basic shapes such as a daisy or a butterfly were my first obra maestras, under this technique. Pure joy for a tot and a proud moment to present to parents.
I got the idea to revive this simple and fun art style while slicing bunches of bokchoy at my kitchen one day. The chopped end of thi |  IMG_1805.JPG |
