Day 24/90 being thankful for having a friend 😊 thanks @bobbythekiwi for funding his @gordonharrisartsupplies. #quickpaintings #landscapeart #blackandwhiteart #weilunha #nzart #covid19art #solitude #artheals

Got bored of the post on paper and decided to do a quick one on a small canvas. Isn't it fun with solid black? Shadows? unknown... mystery forest? or more mountains under. 400x200 #blackandwhiteart #abstractart #interiordesign #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #mtcookart #mtcook #nzart #covid19art #landscapeart #weilunha #acrylicpainting #artheals

Day 21/90 funny how when you simply don't care things go the right way. Record breaking 10 mins to paint this, a path appears in light. #covid19art #landscapeart #blackandwhiteart #artjournal #artbook #artheals #solitude #weilunha #inkart

Day 20/90....tree points to life 😝 #covid19art #landscapeart #inkart #solitude #blackandwhiteart #artjournal #artbook

Day19 cheat day... Even I got days that I don't feel like picking up the brush too and yes I painted this yesterday 😝. Like a old tree I feel bound to the ground by gravity....uphill walk from here. #challenges #contemporarypainting #covid19art #nzart #inkart #solitude #landscapeart #artheals #artjournal

Forest concept... Like a leaf, nature breaths in and out...your turn! Mirror the idea and keep calm. #selfreflecting #conceptpainting #postcardsizepaintings #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #japanesepainting #inkart #landscapeart

Day13/90 getting close to see more life next to the water. #landscapeart #inkart #covid19art #artheals #artjournal #weilunha #nzart

12/90 days of solitude... First sign of water... Water gives life and with life gives hope. #solitude #covid19art #inkart #japanesepainting #sumipainting #landscapeart #blackandwhiteart

Day 10 /90 No such thing as too dark.... Just keep at it when you make mistakes in life. You would find clarity in the end... But it might not be the answer you was expecting. #solitude #artheals #artjournal #landscapeart #blackandwhite #weilunha #japanesepainting

Day9/90. back to being simple. The foot of the mountain covered but at the top I can see things clear. A vision. As a artist you know what you want to be from the day you took on your medium... though you have no idea what's in the journey. You can only see Pinnacle of the moutain ahead that guides you higher than the steps you are on now. #covid19art #solitude #artjournal #weilunha #landscapeart #inkart #japanesepainting #sumipainting

Day 8. High above the sky but not a bird in sight. #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #landscapeart #solitude #weilunha #nzart #blackandwhite #inkart

Seeing something far, cold, mysterious .... Not a tree in sight today. #landscapeart #covid19art #solitude #japanesepainting #inkart #weilunha

Day 6/90 hoping a tree can point the way to a new road in life. #solitude #chinesepainting #japanesepainting #inkart #sumipainting #weilunha #nzart

5/90Keeping life simple. #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #landscapeart #solitude #weilunha #inkart #japanesepainting #sumipainting #nzart

Painted in Australia and framed to live in Taiwan. Love how all my clients are messaging back with a lovely space for their homes. #feelingblessed #friendship

Coming back with folds and ideas with my flowers I hope to work on a piece that plays with these ideas in my next big piece. #origami #modularorigami #art #sculpture

A 50th birthday present commissioned from a good friend. Titled "the vessel" three peonies that symbolise their three children. The vase showing cracks and vulnerabilities, but with gold they persevere and make the family stronger. The number 3 is repeated through out the painting, reminding the children that together they make a bigger and better picture as a family . Like the vase, the parents are always out of the way to bless and let their children grow, hence vase is placed aside instead of being the center piece. The stamps are the family symbols and also used as a sun in the painting, has a synonym to the word yang which is the family name of the friend. The painting is on wood board and medium is ink and water with acrylic. #commissionart #aucklandart #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #familyheirloom

Lost in my little forest in the morning... I hate rain. #rainydaypainting #landscapeart

Back in New Zealand. Keep traveling and painting. #postcardsizepaintings #landscapeart #contemporarypainting #inspiredbyghibli

Lol what I do when I can't sleep I reflect on life and like a still pond I see the sunset slowly. Its so beautiful but so fast, I'm 33... Years come and go. But my love for art never dies. Postcard size paintings are so convenient, I can paint till the last day. I keep unpacking. #finalpaintingbeforesleep #postcardsizepaintings #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #redsun #inkart

Checking out my peonies set I think I did it justice. Its been a daily painting journey for me to find gravity in my falling flowers. Finding a pattern to enjoying life, seeing, understanding and breathing it all in. Like fireworks things are beginning to come to an end with my trip and I'm going back to Auckland next week. #postcardsizepaintings #conceptpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #melbourneart #travelpainting

Mark rothko tribute. I fell in love with this artist on my last visit to NYC. This man dedicated his life to making colours float off from the canvas. #rothko #studywithartist #melbourneart #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #floatingflowers

Breaking out of a pattern is a hard thing to do. To have contrast is to be brave. #bravery #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #peonies #postcardsizepaintings #watercolor
