GEMS OF KATONG THE LITTLE NONYAS Commissioned by i12 Katong and Sound of Art, I was given 4 weeks to complete these 2 paintings. Size 24” by 36” Acrylic on canvas. The theme is “Katong”. There is a lot of material about Katong. The heritage buildings, the yummy food and the unique culture. A lot of ideas came to mind. In the end, I decided to do a piece on buildings. I was cautioned that the red Katong Bakery and the colourful Peranakan houses have been painted by many.
