As folkart has spread and diversed into decorative painting, the painting style can be just ANYTHING as creative as you can think of. My daughters are not so much into flowers and sweet lolly designs and told me what they like. So here they are... shoes, handbags, perfume bottles silhouttes on contrasting background adding ribbons, lace, prints, stripes or polkadots. Turned out chic..! Im pleased!
I painted many clocks recently for customers, none for myself as usual.
And other recent paintings are small items like switch plaques and simple welcome or kitchen signage.
Other items painted are a memory box in the shape of a book that I painted for a cousin for his wedding and a cutlery box that I tried a new design which I looove so much but still sold it!
Last 19th April, Aniza, Nora and I participated a painting demo in conjunction with promoting our book at Utusan booth during the International Book Fair at PWTC. We also had some things displayed for sale.
