This is a cone of Metasequoia (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) tree. There are many in my neighbourhood and my son gathers the cones. I sketched one on the 21st of April, 2009.
This small ceramic dish is one of the wedding gift given by the bride and the bridegroom at the wedding party that I was invited to last weekend. Sketched on the 23rd of June, 2009.
I tried a smooth surfaced paper that is new to me. Quite different from what I am used to... Subject is my favorite "something in a cellophane bag". Sketched on the 20th of June, 2009.
I think a bunch of bananas is a good subject to sketch. You may enjoy the shapes from various angles, ripening stages, and its taste in reward. :) This was painted on the 18th of April, 2009.
Another stuffs in a cellophane bag. It is interesting to express the transparency and the air inside, and I like the subject that has something harvested in some packages to be wasted —it shows the reality of the economic life. Sketched on the 15th of January, 2009.
