Wan Chai

Southorn Park Windows – painting

On Laurd Road, directly behind the bleachers, is the best fresh juice in all of the SAR. And the best place to sit and drink this juice is on the upper row of the bleachers along Johnston Road. From there

Gloucester Road, Wan Chai – drawing

Special thanks to all the people who stopped on the Wan Chai pedestrian bridge to watch me draw today. So many friendly people I was beginning to wonder if i would attract the police. Or maybe it was coincidence I

Wan Chai House – drawing

Hong Kong had its first good downpour yesterday. There was also a fair amount of lightning and thunder rolling through Big Wave Bay’s small valley. So when I got up to draw this morning I wasn’t surprised that it was

Old Post Office & 6B, A Kung Ngam Village – drawing and painting

Gorgeous. Today was absolutely gorgeous. Today felt like Summer gave Spring a light shove out of the way. Spring was kinda lazy and and didn’t bother to shove back. I had a lunch date in Wan Chai and took the

Wan Chai CC and Hong Kong Park – drawing

It’s been a dreary, windy last couple of days. I went to The Wan Chai Convention Center to draw this first picture. A few drops of rain began to fall, so I wrapped things up and went to Southorn Park

Sikh Temple, Wan Chai – drawing

Today I did make it to the Wan Chai Cemetery. But to my surprise, it is an Islamic cemetery. And it shares a border with the Sikh Temple. So let’s see how ethnic Hong Kong is: I’m a western person

The Blue House, Wan Chai – drawing

I woke up to the rain pounding the tin roof of my house. A great sound to slowly wake up to. Even better: for rolling over, pulling the covers over my head and going back to sleep. I did neither.

Wan Chai Pedestrian Bridge

  Despite the heavy rains, high winds and cold temperatures I made it out to draw this picture from the Wan Chai pedestrian bridge. At least I was out of the rain (except for the occasional wind shift). Met quite

Cold and Rainy

Had a few errands to run today, so of course I grabbed my sketchbook first, then worried about what I needed to take with me to do errands. So long story short: I forgot to bring my old passport to
