Oil Painting Class
Arrived school for my painting class more than half an hour early, for some reason I kept on thinking that the class was starting 15 mins earlier than the actual time. Made a failed attempt to paint a banana tonight, a reminder that I’m still very much a beginner in oil painting. I am thinking […]
Oil Painting Class
Painted my 3rd oil painting today. I’m starting to feel comfortable about this weekly exercise – I know where to put the brushes, the paint, the oil bottle, and I know how to pace myself so that I don’t have to rush through finishing the painting. I find it interesting how these painting classes can […]
Oil Painting Class
Picked up my painting from last week, honestly think it looks pretty good for a first attempt, and I was all hyped up thinking I was a natural talent. But after tonight’s class, I’m thinking it may very well just be beginner’s luck that I painted such a nice orange… I had a really hard […]

Mentors
On day 17 of my 21-day “Living a Divinely Inspired Life” devotion plan, it’s about mentorship and learning from the wise – Elisha had Elijah, the disciples had Jesus, Timothy had Paul… I was lucky enough to come across many mentors in my art and research career. For work, I was also fortunate enough to […]
Phone Unlocked!
Thanks to a new tutorial, I was finally able to unlock and use my brother’s old iPhone 3GS! Spent the whole afternoon troubleshooting and migrating everything from my old iPhone 3G. The faster hardware and the newer iOS makes everything feel so much snappier! And the better camera will also allow me to take greater […]
Praying Hands
After seeing some artists’ online portfolios yesterday, I had the urge to create some art of my own. I needed to create a prayer items PPT for fellowship tomorrow, so I decided to satisfy my urge and create a nice background for the PPT. The result is a vector illustration of a pair of praying […]
