2011: Jesus Christ Loves All

First time using a Hexagonal canvas. Not as difficult as I was thing of. This is from my book cover; "Love without Conditions" by Paul Ferrini,
http://www.paulferrini.com/html/body_love_without_conditions_by_pau.html

I like this painting, as well as the book; I can feel my connection with Christ Mind when I was painting this. I have completed this painting on Mar 5, on the same day, something really important has happened. It's such a surprise. So, I just go with the flow and have some good time. I trust that God is standing by me and always leading me on my path.

2011 Feb: We belong together

"The day I met you,
Was the luckiest day of my life.
And I bet you feel the same.
At least I hope you do.
So don't forget,
If the future should take you away,
That you'll aways be part of me. "
From "We Belong Together" BY Randy Newman(Toy Stories 3)

I find a perfect name for the painting, "We Belong Together" by Randy Newman, the winner of Music (original song) in 83rd Academy Awards.

Those fishes in the sea running to them; the Grus japonensis are staring at them; Dragon and Phoenix are flying around them; Clouds are trying to cover them; they don't move a bit. Life is the same. Externally, we face lots of challenges and conflicts every day; will you move a lot to avoid them? Or will you attack those clouds, Japonensis, fishes? Just stay centered and have faith. Everything will be unfolded in its divine order. Trust everything happens for a reason, which, most of the time, is a lesson for you to grow.

I was having a crisis during that time.So much pain and sorrow. But I trust this is my learning and be truth to myself. Everything will be OK later. So I have focused on my exam and finished this beautiful painting in the end.

2011: The Adventure of TREES (Part 3)

After the 2 workshops in Jan, I can't stop my urge to paint. I didn't communicate with others for sometime and it's still very sad for me to be alone in CNY. So, I accepted my situation and continued to paint. The second Tantra that I have painted and I like the colour and the energy in this one.
I felt much relief and more focus in my exam after the CNY.

5th Tree: Tree of Balance

2011: The adventure in TREES (Part 2)

After experiencing a very difficult days, I have attended the second mandala paiting workshop in the following week. It's tough and I was very impatient and in great confusing emotions. I was having so much emotions after the "Tree of Hearts" and I was in pain and didn't understand why I was so implusive. But I trust there must be something that I need to learn here. And my life and my relationshi will be unfolded when I am ready. With this understanding and faith, I continued and finish 2 more trees in second week.

My fourth trees is a breakthrough for me: a Tantra. I have never painted people or very complicated mandala before. However, this is time I am ready. So, this is my "Tree of Love-Making".



My teacher, Paul Heussentamm

Paul has taught us much about soul painting. Our soul is full of emotions and very different from our usual life. We have to learn how to communicate with our own soul and be more connected to our own heart. Mandala painting is definitely one of the many ways to get connected with your own heart and your own soul. I have experienced that connection while I am painting, meditating, cleaning, ironing and cooking etc. Those are my own ways to get connected and of course you can find your own way(s) to communicate and connect with yourself. Everybody does. When the time is right and you are ready, things happen and suddenly your new life is started within. Bless.

2011- the adventure of TREES (Part 1)

I have attended Paul’s Mandala Painting workshop in Jan 2011 which has taken place in Hong Kong. Throughout the 2 five-day workshops, I have experienced joy, happiness, care, concern in the first 2 days.

This is my first tree: Tree of Treasure

Started from the 3^rd day, I have carried on my second tree with Blue as the main color. It was very secretive that I have never thought of blue in the first place. I was thinking of Violet with a bit of white color. But the actual color I have painted on my second tree was Blue. So, I started my very “blue” painting process and all my sadness, sorrow, anger, confusion came up during that 3 days.

This is my second tree: Tree of Hearts.   

What I have learnt in these 5 days: I have to accept and integrate my twin sister, who is sad and in pain. I cannot exclude the one part that I don’t like. It’s all about a complete “Me” as a fully lived human being.

2010: My heart, full of love

I have returned home in 2010. Paul was there for a 3 days’ workshop. Of course I have attended and my energy and urge to paint has been activated. After the workshop, I continued to paint the second and third I this year.

The first one is called "My heart, fill of love", because I was feeling so claim, so stable when I was painting this one.

The second one is "God' love", as you may seen here.  

The third one is "Love", It's a ot easy to paint coz it's bigger and retangular. I didn't showed this one in my aprtment before. But now, I think it's time to show it off and tell everybody" LOVE!

2009

I have spent 1 whole year in Philippines in 2009. I didn’t paint in this year coz I was very busy as a volunteer here. My life and detail in 2009 is on my another Blog:

2008 in Laguna Beach, Paul's studio

I was in Laguna Beach in Feb 2008 and painted this simple one in the studio. The name of this painting is "Heart Centre Dancing". I have just attended Brugh Joy's Foundation Conference in Arizonia and gained much about dream interpretations, mediation etc.
I like this painting coz it's vey peaceful and very rich in color.

Sunset in Bali: 2007 Mandala painting

I have continued my paintings workshop with Paul. I have painted only 1 mandala in 2007. Stopped for a while and actually getting lost: where would I like to go?

I remembered the beautiful sunset in Bali in 2006, so I painted this one and it’s still showing in my apartment right now.   

My mandala painting in 2006

After “Unity”, I have created 4 small mandala paintings for my friends. I can still remember one is purple and golden; one is blue and silver; one is black and red; the last one is a big flower for Lori, my mediation teacher. This was 2006.

2006 was a very challenging year for me: break-up, sickness, move to a new apartment, decide what to do with my career etc. It’s never easy to make different decisions in one time. I have tried and it was a disaster. Everything has fallen apart and I have so many struggles everywhere.

I have painted “Balance” during my hard time. I have no idea why I have to paint but driven by the energy that I couldn’t stop.

With Paul and other 10 girls, I painted another two in Bali, Indonesia. Big contrast between the two paintings: one is cold and snowing (Snowing night); while the other one is warm and loving (Romantic Kisses). It may reflect my two extremes of personalities as well as the adventure of my soul: from cold to warm; from distant to closeness.

Paul is my dear mandala painting teacher. I have painted with him for 6 years and I witnessed my own progress, improvement in terms of skills as well as my spirituality. I love you, Paul

  

How much I would like to a balanced life? How much I would like to have peace and joy and love? It all reflected in my paintings in 2006.

My first mandala back to 2005: Unity

It seems like a long time ago, my first mandala in Dec 2005.

When I looked back, I was longing for peace and unity for myself as well as Earth. It was the World Trade Conference (WTC) taken place in Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wanchai, Hong Kong. There were riots around the venue and eventually Police had to close up almost the whole Wanchai for days in order to control the situation. Coincidently (or led my soul, my Angels or God), I have painted this hand-holding mandala in TST with Paul, my teacher from California.

I don’t like that painting so much in the very beginning, because of my comparison with other students. Other students painted nicely, freely and beautifully. Look at me! What is this?

I look at my Unity this year with Paul, we both smiled and we found that how much changes in my external as well as internal life? It’s a joyful realization.

So, friends, don’t ever judge your paintings, for this is the presentation of your own soul and what you are longing for.

Cheers.
