Chinese buns

Colourful buns from the vegetarian dim sum shop in Aberdeen, filled with lotus seed or red bean paste.
The savory dim sum didn't last long enough to draw.

Birthday blues with oranges

I had a birthday last week but also a stomach bug. The blue scarf was a lovely gift, the most amazing ultramarine blue silk, which is hard to capture with watercolour....here's the first attempt.

Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!

This is a warm up for a commission I'm working on............

(having problems getting the colours right on the scans)

Coconut

My brother-in-law visited last week. When he came back with this coconut I asked to draw it.

Then, after starting the outside, wished I'd never asked and abandoned it.

One week later I went back to it, finished the outside and then did the inside (which was more fun).

This is for you bro, sorry you left without eating it

Mango Cheesecake

Mango Yoghurt Cheesecake from the Bookworm Cafe, Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island

I've been busy with no time for drawing but here is a commission I did at Christmas....I can now post.
Happy to say the recipient liked it!For a photograph butas I was painting I decided I'm going to have to visit one day. Amazing colours!
More soon, sharpening my pencils.......................
