新年快乐！马年大吉！马上开心！
Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
For the occasion, I made a little "study" on the character 馬, which means horse.
Read here https://art.echoingfrog.ca/year-of-the-fire-horse-triptych for a meaning of the piece.

Attended a #SealCarving class. I chose the characters, our teacher Robin Loeng designed it in bronzeware script, an ancient #Chinese writing style that was used on bronze vessels for important historical records and spiritual ceremonies, and then I carved it myself. It was really meditative, just like #calligraphy is. I'm looking forward to trying again in the future.
畅想 (chàngxiǎng) means to give free rein to one's #imagination, to think imaginatively, to envision freely.
Little fun challenge!
First attempt at writing the biáng character, which is a type of noodle in Shaanxi cuisine. Deemed the most complex "genuine" Chinese character with its 58 strokes. Full of flaws but not too bad for a first I guess.
Next challenge: an "artistic" character made of 172 strokes. Wish me luck!

WIP
Been working on this one for a long time already, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the process.

Vancouver Public Library, taking your knowledge to greater heights.
One of my fav places. I just recently rediscovered the joy of spending time there after not going for so long.
They offer so many great free events and workshops. And I love hanging out there to work on my creative projects.
Public libraries are the best! And the VPL central branch is an architectural gem on top of it!

Bird Singing In The Bamboos
March 2024
From a Gongbi painting class. Someday, maybe, I'll be able to paint realistic scenes myself, but for now, I traced from an existing drawing, directly with the brush, and then coloured before sharpening some lines again.
