Tears for Cheers

What is it about balloons that is just so cheerful? Just tie a balloon around my wrist and I will be the happiest girl in the world even on my lowest day.

Here is a piece I did for the upcoming art show "Vinyl Graffiti" at The Labyrinth Store. The paintings are all done on vintage vinyl record covers. There are many great artists involved so be sure not to miss it! The show will be in January following Bobby Chiu's Dragon Sketches show. I'll post more info about the opening night once the date is announced.

My friend Peter Chan has done a beautiful painting for the show as well. Check out his on his blog.

Although I consider myself a visual artist, sometimes I feel as though my ability to express myself on an instrument surpasses what I can do on a canvas. I'm not the best musician, and if this quote were applied to my singing then I must be rotten inside! But when I play piano or guitar, I can't hide what I'm feeling even if I try. This is the reason I feel uncomfortable playing in front of an audience. I truly feel naked when I play.

Thank you Hieng for teaching me those tips and tricks for watercolours, they really came in handy.
