Central District

Graham St. – painting

Hong Kong got a slight reprieve from the stormy weather of the past two days so I ran to Mid-Levels to paint. Not so much because I wanted to paint there as I had a coupon for a restaurant in

Today’s Post – drawing

Today’s forecast was for HOT and it was. We are also under a T1 cyclone watch which added occasional downpours to today’s weather. It wasn’t in the forecast and the rain came in so quickly that, even though I checked

Giraffes in Central, June 27 1997 – pen and ink

I have been working hard to resolve the mural painting and need another day to finish the preliminary painting. So look for that tomorrow. In the meantime, I dug this out of one of my old sketchbooks from when I

Central Pier and Tsim Sha Tsui – drawing

A bit hazy at first, but things cleared out around noon. My first stop was Central Pier to draw the new MTR line being built. It runs from the IFC building to the convention center. I’ve heard it will go

Hollywood & Pottinger, Central District- painting

Wow. Almost missed getting this one done today. It’s too humid to do this size painting without the air conditioning helping to dry things out. I can’t help but open all the windows and let the breeze blow through while

Hong Kong Police Station, Central District – drawing

Well, I guess there just aren’t enough cheap “international style” buildings in Hong Kong. That’s the only reason I can think that the Town Planners are bulldozing the old colonial police station to put in its place two modern buildings

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Happy New Year and prosperous year of the Rabbit. Kung Hei! Kung Hei! Well, I survived skiing in the DMZ of South Korea as well as the first 2 days of Chinese New Year. But, if I eat any more
