It is an important day for my mum today, she is having her second art show in Tualatin. My mother, the part time florist, full time mum and artist envelopes herself in details. (Sometimes it's a wonder she's not crosseyed) I remember my favourite painting she did when I was just a child. (She has since sold it when we moved from NZ to the states) It was a vertical rectangular painting, in water colour I think, of a sparsed out village along a river and the mountains in the background. In each house, people were doing different things, drinking tea, looking out the window and it was as if I could make a story up just by looking at the painting. My sister and I would often argue which house we would want to live in if the painting was real.

These days, mum is more into painting flowers, old chinese villages (the nostalgic side of her) and using pointism to capture pets expressions. If you have time, whilst still digesting last night's hunk of meat, go visit her Etsy store Angsanarts or her blog. (The blog is filled with real Chinese cooking recipes, real as in, no brown sauce!!!)
