Goldies!! Goldfish in a Bag-- Watercolor from Asian Influence Series

These goldfish ROCK!  I am finally getting the hang of painting what my heart saw on Tung Choi Street in Hong Kong!

Those precious and fragile fishes-- swimming away in their perfect little water-worlds!

YAY~

and what makes it more special-- is that they are loved and appreciated-- and taken home as beloved pets.

Final and last version of Temple Man Mo.  The changes are probably imperceptible-- but still-- there are changes.

Thank you thank you for taking this journey of evolution with me.  The temple is certainly a rich place for imagery.  I plan to mine it again for a painting.

The red and gold are reminisent of the palette that assaults your senses-- once you enter the temple.  It is sacred, mysterious, steamy, and shrouded in tradition.

It will take many pantings to convey!


Please let me know your thoughts!

Temple Man Mo- Hong Kong, China

The most beautiful temple-- Man Mo is in downtown Hong Kong.    My friend-- Zhiwen took me there or our walk throughout the city.  I was totally mesmerized by it.

I plan to do a number of paintings from various aspects of this temple- and this is my first attempt.

There are rows and rows of incense hanging from the ceiling.  These incense are in various states of being burned.... smoking and smouldering and being fragrant.

The sights and sounds were intoxicating!

The step-by-step is to illustrate how I went about this painting.  I am not quite sure it's completed--but I will revisit it in a few weeks to make the final touches.

GOLD BAGS ASIAN INFLUENCE

Two watercolors I have been working on this week from the TUNG CHOI STEET in HONG KONG.

The gold fish in the bags was completely enchanting to me!  I just had to paint them!

I am planning on doing a series.

The more abstracted they are-- the better I like them.

Stay tuned for more.
