Dear Viewers,

For this year's update of my on-line art gallery, which was started in 2002, I have again selected 6 watercolour and 6 pastel paintings. There are 3 local scenes and 3 foreign scenes in each medium. One watercolour painting - "Barter Boats (2)" - was done in the '60s, but touched up in July 2009.

One of the 3 pastel paintings on locals scenes - "Some Yachts At The Changi Sailing Club" - was started at the Club during the filming in December, 2006, of a documentary on me and an apprentice painting there. This documentary was part of a series on 6 local artists entitled "The Travelling Palette". The first part of this series was shown on the Arts Central Channel on 20/2/2007. The part on me was shown on 27/2/2007.

Another pastel painting of a local scene - "Young Trees, East Coast Park" - was done during a 4-day Workshop on Pastel Painting in 2007 at the NLB. This popular workshop was followed by Singapore's 1st Pastel Art Exhibition at the NLB from 19/6/2007 to 23/6/2007.

I hope all of you will enjoy viewing these paintings.

Sincerely,
