Relax
This is a print from my original acrylic painting mixed media with digital colors & collage. Size 5"x7" including 1/4" white border around the picture.
Well, I tell you the truth, I really want to be like the girl on this painting at this moment. Fly to Bali Island & just relax in isolated area, ehhm that will be so great! But never happen for almost 6 years, due to bad timing (as always, my excuse.
Well someday I will...perhaps :)

Back to school
This is a print from my original acrylic painting mixed media with digital colors & collage. Size 5"x7" including 1/4" white border around the picture.
This illustration is about my old memory about education. Half of my life, I spend it at school & college. Now, it is my little girl turns. Lucky for her, her school is much better than mine. She loves to go to school because she can meet & play with her friends while also learns all the numbers, letters, fun science, earth, recycle, etc.

My Crib
This little cute apes is a print of my original ink drawing which colored digitally.
My daughter Chinese zodiac is a Monkey. So, I was inspired by that, and tried to make a cute, innocent, but a little bit naughty to represent her monkey. It's just lovely to put on her wall in her bedroom.

Rainy day
This is a print from my original acrylic painting mixed media with digital colors & collage. I just added this to my etsy shop.
I live in a hot tropical city, so if there is a rainy day, I just love it, because the weather gets chilly little bit. However, I just pray that the rain is not pouring all day long, because flood will be every where if it's to much.

Thank you The Art Zoo, who has been featured my "Tell me more" print at The Art Zoo's blog. Please visit The Art Zoo's lovely blog. There are more beautiful artworks from many different talented artists, who knows you may be one of them too :)
About the painting:
My girl loves ballet so much, not only because she can dance, but because she can wear pretty tutu. Sometimes she doesn't want to change her tutu, & she just wears it all day long. At her age right now(4), she loves to ask many different kind of questions. When I answer her question, my answer become her question again, then I answer again, but she comes back again with her first question. Ehmm seems like never ending questions & answers :)

Tea Party
My little girl always invites me as a guess of honor to her cute tea party. Well, since I was a kid, I always became a guess in every tea party of my friends, never acted as a host. The reason was there were too many boys toys which belong to my brothers, and I didn't have any sets of tea party at our house. I was more familiar with robots, cars & trains.
So, at first, when my girl arranged her tea party, I felt like a little girl again.

100% fat free
Early Christmas gift. When I was a kid, I loved candy so much. I didn't know that too much sugar could make your body act more aggressive. Sugar is also not friendly with our teeth. That's why, I'm quite strict with my girl about eating candy. So instead of giving the real candy, this illustration is a perfect healthy Christmas gift for her (plus of course a train or Lego that she requested).

Sharing
My girl, my husband & I, love ice cream so much. When we bought ice cream, each of us had different flavor, so we could try many different flavors by sharing them. We also like to try different kind of ice cream from different country too. At this moment, we are crazy about Japanese ice cream, it has one that has jelly inside, yummy. For American ice cream, we still love Ben & Jerry. "Chunky Monkey" is my favorite. But the best fresh ice cream is "BELTS". It is originally from Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I'm not sure if they finally open it in other cities or not. By the way, they named it Belts, because they use milk which comes from cows that have belts pattern around their tummy. Miss you so much Belts. My girl for sure love this ice cream.

Balance
This painting is about balance between formal education with the books as the symbol & having fun being a kid as the elephant doll represents about playfulness. As a mother of 4 years old girl, I started to give her games since she was 3 which were not only fun but also games that stimulated her logic & made her knew more about letters & numbers. Thanks God, nowadays so many kids games which support that, so my girl could understand numbers & letters easily. I wish I had it before.
