FEEL THE HEAT


Can you feel the heat in this painting?
What is burning?
Save the Rainforest.
I love the impact of the colours.
Once again I find David Chew's painting memorable.
I can remember the colours and the message.
There is movement in this painting.
I can hear the sound of fire crackling and branches snapping.
Can you?

I am still pondering on his work.

VIBRANT ARTIST


This painting by David Chew makes me ponder about who we are .
He uses western abstract style to capture the motif that represents Borneo.
I like the colours and the texture. The painting has impact.
It makes me feel that he does do justice to the beauty and power here in Sarawak.
What I like about David Chew's painting is that it is striking. The colours jump out at you and yet they are soothing.
They are almost delicious.
For want of a better word....

TEA WITH RAPHAEL SCOTT ABENG


After a journey through urban and suburban and off the track roads

we arrived .

Raphael Scott Abengs cottage complex

with all his special art corners and rustic cosy places

and his joyful paintings.

In his huge studio we wandered as he told us about his encounters with collectors

It was such a precious evening of art comraderie.

Thank you David, Norman and Raphael for this wonderful day!

I have never seen this style before...

Layers of mountains....

A mysterious painting beckoning me to wonder...

AN ARTIST THAT MADE ME PONDER


I am at a loss of words to describe how I felt or the thoughts that are stirred in me.
My soul is full of thanks for this ooportunity to meet David Chiew and walk through his virtual gallery....
I am posting a painting entitled TOWARDS GATHERING.
David shared with me the stories behind his paintings.
What impressed me was the vibrance and the authentic struggle to express his views of life.
For me he was an artist who was capturing the inner dynamics of minds and hearts .
No simple answers.
Universal growth...
What it means to be human.
What it feels to ponder on the divine.
Well more will be posted soon on my new encounter with a fascinating artist

FREE TO SOAR


I dedicate this to all of you.
For you are FREE
And if anyone makes you feel
UNFREE
They are only powerful
if you allow them to be.
Freedom bursts from this Mighty People
Freedom that has been given by Heaven
Free Will
Choice
Decide
And
Be

TIGER OF BORNEO



This is a baby carrier decorated with beads.
The design shows a yellow tiger and a white tiger facing each other?
What do you feel when you look at this?
