I never knew his name. He's from the neighbourhood and hangs around my place a lot (the bribe is called Whiskas Temptation). He's so friendly and thus his name, 'Fran Lee'. And what a lively lil' fella he is! I look forward to his company everyday. Acrylic on stretched canvas (16" x 20").

Many years ago, this was the boarding house for the girls in my alma mater. A former residence of Ong Tiang Swee (a prominent figure in Kuching back in early 1900s), it was turned into Diocesan Centre and now a boutique hotel. This painting was auctioned off during the school's 165th anniversary dinner on Oct 26, 2013. The proceed went to the school charity.

Oil painting on stretched canvas, 16" x 20". I drew my inspiration from Hans Hofmann's To J.F.K. - A Thousand Roots Did Die With Thee painting. To make it fun, I put some 'wonderings' in there, e.g. the windows/ doors in the minds,the influencers on the man's mind,etc. I call it 'Mind' because it is targeted at the mind of the viewer to liberate and unfold the painting from its current 2D confinement to many dimension of his/her interpretation.

There's no division in our soul. One world for all. (16" x 20", oil painting).
