aiden's room after renovation

tu fang

i read an article about this art space at the cattle depot artist village in to kwa wan yesterday, and i couldn't wait to take aiden to try kid's art jamming right after work today. i gave the owner a call this afternoon and made the appointment. i heard about cattle village for a long time, it is the first time i come here. we arrived about 6:00pm, before heading to tu fang, i took a quick walk around with aiden, most units here are occupied by local artists.

tu-fang is the place where we're going to spend this evening. as soon as we walked in, i immediately fall in love with this place. it is almost like a hidden space in the city where you can enjoy a quiet time making arts. it is a great place for mommys, daddys and friends to hang out. one good news is the venue can be booked for kids' party!

the unit is mainly divided by a little pantry, a chill out space, a painting area and the owner's private corner. the setting and atmosphere really set a good mood for painting. plants and flowers, fish tank, decorative lightings and vintage furnitures are beautifully arranged. there are too many things to look at. the way that tom, the owner, displays the furnitures and decorations is simply amazing. they totally reflect his unique taste of life.

tom treated us with such kind hospitality, aiden enjoyed his first art jamming and also the selections of baby jazz played in the room. we had a great time, thank you tom! see you again soon.

papa and aiden @ park island

it's aiden's school break this week, papa took a day off and headed to the park island with him while mama was at work yesterday. papa said it was such a nice little get away from the city, they seems to enjoy a great day there. hard to believe it's still like summer here in november!

chill out @ disney lake again

second visit to disney lake in 3 days, this time we came along with ian....little ian was so excited crawling around on the grass....

plunderer of blossoms

before my weekly painting class last week, i made a visit to the show named "i love flowers all my life" of the world renowned chinese american painter walasse ting (1929-2010) at the pao gallery. anyone will be easily attracted by his distinctive and poetic visual works, ting mainly works in oils, acrylics and ink on rice paper. the exibition provides an overview of ting's famous subjects: alluring ladies, birds, colourful fishes, cats, florescent green landscape which reflect his joy of life, love and beauty. i like his abstract and expressive brush strokes and use of vivid colors, his works are beautiful, sweet and romantic to me.

happy sunday @ disney lake
