MOOD's Joint Art Exhibtion - NOV 2022

  I am taking out the pen and ink portrait of 'Marita' this morning from the original drawing book to be framed. This sketch was done on 23rd September, 1973 while I was in the final year of my university studies at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang. Upon framing the sketch now measures 25 cm x 20 cm in dimension. The sketch is almost 50 years now and would be the first time ever to be displayed in an exhibition at the CAAF Art Show, Naim Street Mall, Paragon, Bintulu between 25th - 27th November,2022. There is an interesting story of why memories of Marita remains very clear as in the sketch even today. Checkout the full story of 'Marita' by following another blog of mine here...>>> https://moodsolo2.blogspot.com/.../story-behind-sketch...

Within this split frame, I have put up three pictures. The difference in time frame of the painting and sketch is 34 years. The CCAF art show will showcase many of my artworks that are dated and signed by me over a timeline of 48 years (1974 -2022). My collection of paintings on display will tantamount to a retrospective exhibition of my involvement in art. Details of the art show>>> Venue: Naim Street Mall. Paragon, Bintulu >>> Date: 25 Nov-27 November,2022.

This sketch done in watercolour pencil on paper is naturally inspired from my Kambatik Park, Bintulu. Upon framing the sketch measures 23cm X 33cm and will be displayed at the CCAF Art Show, Naim Street Mall, Paragon between 25-27 Nov this year. It has been 17 years since the sketch was done.
