4 hours with Arts=p

Yipee~~ nice rest because of this Vesak day holidays! haha.. you have no idea how much I appreciate this rest!
And.. GUESS WAT??
I found a friend to visit the museum with me! Or rather, she found me=)
haha.. NUS Students! make use of the privilege! Free admission to the singapore art museum. For sotongs like me who cant really differentiate the museums, its the one near bras basah/cityhall/dhoby ghaut/opp SMU, beside the POSB.
hee. the main exhibit was that of Xu Bei Hong. Chinese painting and stuff. hmm.. From the perspective of a layman, I would say that his portraits are.. good! haha.. There was this family portrait that i saw.. the little boy looks like he is half-looking at you. Thats not easy to achieve ok? He likes to make use of vague strokes and mild colour shades to depict the form of the subject of the picture, or maybe the background. What I specifically remembered was the snow mountain in the background and the snow on the twigs. And there was this 'bee' that he painted along with a scene of autumn leaves. It looked printed! Computers cant do a better job! Really! Its really rare to see depiction of the autumn maple leaves in chinese paintings.. they generally favour spring and sometimes the cool winter. So it was kinda a pleasant surprise=) Also, there were several apintings that made use of GREEN. It caught my eye... something different from the grey black and white generally employed. Of course, there were also the common.. horses, magpies, calligraphy, FRIENDLY eagles (they do not look threatening at all).
Xu Bei Hong seriously led a colourful life. Having travelled to France, Germany, India and many more places. Seriously.. to make it so far, he must have been really lucky!
haha.. im not an arts person and as JY has pointed out, do not have the artistic flair. hmm.. but yup. indulge and immerse in arts once in a while to strike the balance!
No pictures?
haha.. no photography allowed.. so I of course.. haha..
Adeline lead an interesting life. Engaging herself so deeply into the world of magic and even planning to open her own shop already=) jia you jia you! good luck!! You better free time for Table Tennis! haha..
