Finally

"The Kiss of Judas", Oil on Canvas, 66 cm x 66cm, 2000,(Singapore Art Museum Collection)

Recently I had a chance to go to my second brother’s house again, and I didn’t know why, but just wanted to stay outside the corridor - looking at the area close to the door and another area nearby the staircase.

I recalled... and I spoke to my second brother and his lovely son (my nephew), “Can’t you all remember? I used to stay in this house for about two years? That was the hardest time in my life... and I spent a lot of time doing my paintings in these two areas.” While I was saying this, my eyes turned wet! Yes, that was the hardest time! Many people looked down on me; many people were afraid of me at that time... As I was too poor, some people were even afraid that if they got close to me, I might eventually borrow money from them... Of course I never did. Ha! I only had one meal per day then. (Don’t misunderstand. God never made me poor; I was poor because I backslided totally; and I was at a turning point, about to return to God.)

“Remember or not? Most of the paintings that I painted outside these two areas finally became museum permanent collection!” I said. “Almost all?” my brother asked. “Yes, almost all!” I smiled.

Thanks be to my God! He was with me all the time, even in my lowest state in life...!

吃糖记

吃糖对我这个年龄的人而言似是极遥远的喜好...
回想看看...从小学时代开始吧！

靖婷图 - 吃糖，细墨笔和黑蜡笔，二〇〇七年。（这画有趣的一点是靖婷正坐着吃糖，可见其咀部正动着...）

当时吃糖这回事对我来说并不比吃冰淇淋来的积极，我偏好冰淇淋多过于糖果。

但我也喜好某些糖果如粉红色的棉花糖，红色和白色包装的黑色咳嗽糖（包装纸上印有一名白发秃头阿伯的咳嗽模样，记得当年还请来一名貌似阿伯的人扮演泰山直喊：“O...E...O..."的电视广告...）和带有薄荷味的廉价糖等。

当然还有爱吃那种前面印有卡通人物的长方体口香糖，它的包装纸后面附有不同的图案，沾上口水后可印在皮肤上...也最富有弹性，能吹出直径大约10cm的泡泡。哈！记得一个只售一毛钱而已！

到了二十多岁时，则常吃甜糖，目的旨在于舒解压力！因工作和生活压力常令我头昏脑胀，吃糖可让舌头对甜产生反应（很多时候也藉着看电视画面来辅助），借此让脑部"过多的集中力"的一部分可传递到口腔和眼部，以此达至脑部的舒缓（当然，这是我自个儿发见的窍门，对我行得通，对其他人则不懂！）

我侄女靖婷（上图）好像也挺爱吃糖果的。就有那麽一次，我伴随她去Shopping，见她用秤买了不少色彩缤纷兼形状各异的软糖果。

现在呢？哈！我不吃糖了！只单单吃冰淇淋。

我发觉有一样东西，比糖和冰淇淋更甜，那便是神的话！

More than 70 pieces sold...

Praise the Lord! Recently one art collector bought more than 70 pieces of my artworks, but I don't think I can display here, as there are too many of them - 5 watercolour paintings, 58 drawings and the rest are acrylic and oil paintings.
I would like to give thanks to my Heavenly Father again - for His love, care and unearned-, undeserved- and unmerited-favour on me!

Unshown Works...

So far I haven't got a chance to exhibit these three pieces of works...therefore now shown here!

(1) "Self-Portrait",Oil On Canvas, 2006

The one above is "Self-portrait", also the first piece from "Pipe & Container" series. The top hole is the one and only way of recieving blessing from God; the next hole which is below the top hole, is a mouth- speak out, sprak good words! Another two holes which are below the mouth, are hands- Give!

(2) Dialogue, Oil On Canvas, 2006

The second piece is to show "Christian Fellowship". As you can see, every single pipe/container has different form and shape, showing that every christian is unique and special, yet they communicate with one another.

(3) Flow, Oil On Canvas, 2006

In the third work, the over all image looks like a cross. The top hole shows all blessings only come from heaven, and the three round-shaped containers, which are below the top hole( from left to right ),show that God's blessings will benefit our spirit, soul and body.When we are blessed by God, we will also eventually bless other people, as shown by water flowing from the few long pipes.
