New curtain painting

The skull manta ray!
20th April 2020. This is the 39th day of the lockdown.
I have ran out all clays and painted a lot on the paper. I have finished the consulting job today. I have cleaned, cooked and even messed around with my cats. I start to feel very bored….Suddenly, I saw the curtains! They are so ” white”!! They need some color on.
It was like this; pretty “boring”, like my lockdown mood!
I was thinking to paint some octopus. However there are many octopuses in my house already. I need to be creative; otherwise it is also boring, isn’t it?
Rays is a good choice. They are free and elegant. So I have decide they will stay on my wall!
Look at it. It is lovely.
I will paint another curtain this week and I will post on it.
There is a video of this painting. Please check if you are interested.
Have a lovely Monday!!!

Hope 希望 2006 – Artist: Ya-Chien Cheng
This painting was done by Ya-Chien Cheng ( YCC) in 2006. It was one of her paintings shows her belief of her lift.
Ya-Chien was striving for establishing her new life in the UK after the MBA graduation. With the difficulties of the cultural difference and the language barrier, it was hard for her to get a proper job after her study. Therefore she spent her spare time on art creations because she believes people must enjoy the present time, additionally, art always brings her joy.
In this painting, a “face”, similar to a Chinese character” HEART (心), looks toward the light when it is surrounded by the numerous mess surrounded. Ya-Chien feels she will never give herself up even when the environment frustrating and unclear. She believes there is always hope in our life; the key point is your attitude.
The aqua bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the most important feature in every home. How to make this area very personal, fun and relaxed? I guess customised it will be a good idea.
As the original wall does not have any water proof function, I had to mix the special paint to create this protection. I have mixed the waterproof paint from La Pajarita and Liquitex pouring medium to create this special paint.
The first part I was painting was the rough wall area. I used a natural sponge to dip lots of the waterproof paint to stop any concrete falling. After that I sprayed some metallic solution to create the shinning sea feeling.
I am always a mermaid fan. I imaged I am the one and soaking in the bathtub. Of course the sexy tail has to stay outside to show this exotic picture. Voila, you could see the extended me there!!
Octopus and I are very similar. Both of us are alines. They have 3 hearts and high IQ…. And I have 3 times imagination and super creativity……
So this sea monster is perfect in my bathroom.
“you want to play with me? Or bring me back to our planet??”
Romantic lighting are necessary. Here is my DIY chandelier made from ” eaten by me scallop and hand dive sea snails”. Also the cool ” black tuxedo” candle with sea shells/ sea urchins.
This is the ” almost final” look of the bathroom. Of course I will always add some new features as I am easy to get bored and I always want something “new”.
Are you excited for my next design???
