WE MAKE ART NOT MONEY

[defrog]

The southeast corner of Disco Bay is being belted with wind, rain and lightning this morning. Because we don’t wait for typhoons to come to us. We make our own excitement here. FOOM!

Hopefully it’ll calm down by the time I head off to the Cultural Centre to help strike the set of the Blend Affinity Society’s Chinese Calligraphy and Painting exhibition. The Blend Affinity Society is basically a hobbyist art class for people who want to do painting and/or calligraphy for fun. And, as mentioned, my mother-in-law, Leung Pun Chung, is a member. Here’s a sample of her work on display:



[Other highlights behind that pic, though only four are by her – the others are by fellow students]

This is what she does when we’re off at work all day. I couldn’t tell you how she measures up to “pro” artists, but she’s good enough that she’s had a few of her own solo exhibitions, including one in Seoul. Anyway, I can’t even paint a kitchen, much less a landscape, so I’m impressed.

Paint a pretty picture,

This is dF

it surely rains a lot in HK this year! Local residents told me Wellington boots are sold out.

And yes, that's a pretty painting. Always makes me want to go and read a Louis Cha martial arts novel :P
