Tree at Labrador Park

All sorts of ferns were growing on this tree with lovely buttress roots. Most times I just walk past trees like these taking for granted their majestic presence, not stopping to take in the details. This is why I like to draw because drawing is one way to appreciate the world we live in.

Teochew Opera

I was early for the Teochew Opera performance at the Food Centre at the Singapore Flyer. Nearer the time of the performance we were entertained by the opera musicians, most of whom were elderly and I was told that one of them was eighty years old. Since I was alone and did not have anyone to talk to, I decided to do some drawings using an ink-based pen. I use an ink pen because I like using strong lines to depict the subject of my drawing. The disadvantage is that I cannot make mistakes with such a pen.

 I started this drawing of the stage as I saw it from where I sat. I only filled in the actors later.

Gigantic Bowl of noodles

The bowl was huge. I couldn't really see the food. Sometimes you have to catch people's attention with something bizarre to make an impression.
