I was glad to be featured in The Star newspaper for Chinese New Year 2011. With my son and his rabbits appearing alongside my article makes it even more exciting. You can read all about his hobby on his blog – I am not giving him more publicity than he already has (although I am proud of his achievements with the Holland Lops). Here’s the article in question:

Portraits of your Pets

As you can see, one of my favorite painting subjects is animals and especially household pets in particular. I paint portraits of pet dogs regularly. Here is a “family” of American Cocker Spaniels that I painted not too long ago.
