On a lazy Sunday afternoon, Hubby took out paints, easels
and canvas, and encouraged the 3 females in the family to indulge in a bout of
escapism. Painting, to us, is escapism. The focus it provides is an amazing
reprieve from the stress of daily life. Whether we emulate existing
paintings, attempt to re-create the great works of old masters, or enact
another world from our imaginations, it provides us with a little channel into
another world.
Little Bee had previously sketched out a rainforest some
time back, and could immediately launched into painting this rainforest alive
through mainly verdant shades.
Big Bee opted to paint a semi-abstract painting
comprising of a fairly challenging blended background and a pair of love birds on a beautiful blossoming tree.
Whereas I decided to re-enact an European countryside scene which I found online.
We will be displaying our paintings around the house, which makes it so much more meaningful for the Bees rather than us buying paintings from other painters. And I think this rejuvenating exercise will be a regular one for us!

these are beautiful!
They are so lovely! Linette, all 3 of you have the gift for art!
These are indeed incredibly gorgeous pieces! Love them.
Candice, Kei, Shirley: Many thanks for your comments. We are very encouraged, and now that exams are over, I hope to spend more time with them (and myself!) painting. Already, my mum had placed "orders" for several pieces from us! It is a wonderful stress-reliever.
