There is an immense joy that surges from within. Never in my wildest dreams have I ever thought I will become a full time artist, let alone have my works displayed in SUTD ( Singapore University of Technology and Design) , MGS (Methodist Girls’ School) and now ACJC( Anglo Chinese Junior College). Thank you so much for the privilege and honour. #TGBAG SUTD Library Methodist Girls' School Anglo Chinese Junior College
Today, the Painting was installed. On site at Anglo Chinese Junior College. This piece was commissioned by my ACJC Class of '80 in celebration of our class 40th Anniversary.
My privilege to be commissioned for this. 7 office buildings. Glad it turned out well. I also painted in 18 Vanda Miss Joaquim, the National Flower of Singapore. These are iconic buildings and it was indeed a great honour for me to be given the privilege to paint them .
Completed my painting today. This is it. Showed the photographer and passed! Ok, here are some facts about durians. Durian trees typically take about 4 to 5 years before they start flowering and when that happens, it is usually once a year. Sometimes there is a minor season. The flowers are in clusters and only about 20% will be successfully pollinated. The fruits hang on the tree and will mature after 3 months. What is so interesting about this lot of durian flowers is that the owners have stayed in the house for 18 years and the tree only started flowering last year! Can you believe it? The tree really took its time. Many thanks to Mr Rich Seow for his photo.
