On the Journey...(Part 2)

I love Degas' art works since school time, so my sketches also try to capture the beauty of the forms and the fleeting moment.
























Sometimes I appreciate my sketches more than my paintings, because the ideas tend to be more original and are drawn from first-hand impression. In my earlier works from 1989-90, I applied the sketchy or "doodling" style on my painting background. (see artworks below)

Above all, I thank God for giving me the gift of drawing - able to use lines to capture a lot of different images that reflect life.
