Mother and Daughter - 23 (H) x 18 (W) Ink and water color on wood panel - commission work.
The reference photo showed the moment before my client gave birth to her daughter while her mother comforted her in time of needs.
Childbirth is one of the most important and also the most dramatic event in one's life, fill of uncertainty, confusion and fear, and having one's mother there offers much needed calmness and tranquility, much like what a lotus pond in most Asian culture represent, that is why I chose to pair the two together to create this image: Peace and hope during uncertainty.

The Red Envelope Show by Grumpy Bert
I am very lucky to be invited back year after year since 2019 to participate in this Chinese New Year related art exhibition: Using traditional red envelopes as the primary medium, you essentially create mini illustrations which tells a story or a theme related to that year.
