Painting in progress and Happy Easter

It's quite warm today and feels really pleasant although my creativity seems to get along better with overcast day. Don't ask me why:) I grew up in a tropical island, so I should have loved sunny days more, right?
I've been drawing and painting. Got two new drawings that I had transferred on canvas. Currently working on this one (taken using my digital camera). I only ask my personal photographer (^_^) to take the final photo. I can only press the button...that's how lousy I am.

I used slightly different approach. Normally, I would paint loosely on the underpainting stage and worked further refining it on the later stages. But I tried to spend time on the first underpainting layer on this one. We'll see how it goes.

Something that I really look forward this month. Mark Ryden will have a solo show in New York..wohoo. I'm so excited. Fingers crossed that nothing will prevent us from going there.
I first saw his paintings around 2006/2007. I didn't paint that time. In fact, I didn't do any art related things at all. Finding him, and also other artists on the internet and magazines like Hi Fructose had really opened my eyes that I wanted to follow my passion and develop my own artistic style.
That's the reason I really look forward to seeing his show. I bet the show will be super packed and there is small chance I can say hello to him. Oh well, seeing his beautiful paintings is good enough for me.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter
