Just finish a portrait painting. Mainly focus on using cyan colours. This drawing is based on photos taken by my friend “Yeoh” while he was on a diving trip at Okinawa, Japan. The objective of the painting is to capture the floating feeling of being underwater. Also the amazing beauty of being inside clear ocean water surround by white sand

Posted in Watercolors with tags Borneo, Orchid, Original Painting, Plants Art, Watercolors on October 26, 2009 by Francis JongGot this photo from my father, the Kuching house orchid has just bloom. Sweet fragrance is again in the air. The smell is so strong one might even notice it from 5 feet away. Very seldom the “Borneo Orchid” bloom with more then two flowers at each time. So that is what my father mention and of course the smell is quadruple in strength. The origin of this orchid might be from Lundu, a small town almost to the border of Sarawak and Indonesia. The small town is famous for it’s catch of wild boar and occasionally mouse deer but nowadays it is more well know for it’s flora, such infamous rafflasia flower can be found nearby the town. Have not seen them yet, may be one of this days. Hope you like this painting.

Old friends
Posted in Watercolors with tags Friends, Group Portrait, Original Painting, Waterclors, Wedding Reception on October 24, 2009 by Francis JongVery busy week starting last weekend can’t even get any timeout to put down some paints. Have found some old painting which I have done sometime back. This is a group portrait on my wedding reception group photo. This is a photo taken many years back but it reminds me of most of my good old friends whom I have not meet since the photo taken. I do miss them a lot, hopefully have chance to go back to my hometown and have a get together. Well most probably will be this coming Chinese New Year. Wish all of them forever good health and happy always.
