Marks to meet the public

So this painting "Otherworldly #1", the first work of the series, made its way to a juried competition and exhibition organized by HK Oil Painting Research Society.  Congrats Eliza! I had to say to myself.

I don't think I expect anything from the exhibition except that I so hope the marks can be seen by the public.  I'll be ready for critiques.  Perhaps I'm just thrilled to know that works of big boys in the local art scene are there.

The Otherworldly gave me much confidence to commence a new journey.  It's almost like walking on water!  I still recall the moments when frustrations clouded me and my studio.  Not easy, but a courage to follow solely my instinct, running back to studio after a quick lunch to have the picture plane totally revamped ...  The crossover resulted in tremendous courage, love and passion to make and create, solving problems along the way.  Had I entertain any doubt then, I wouldn't have gone on and finished the series with "Happily bubbling away".  The experience made a direct impact onto my attitude in living out my life too.
