The dumpling seller

Dumpling Seller © Evelyn Howard 2011 
Evelyn Howard, Acrylics, 12 x 16"

I am remembering the wonderful dumplings we had for breakfast and lunch in China. Yummy, hot, steamy, meaty, satisfying, delicious dumplings.

Not my best painting, but I am enjoying the process, and learning a lot. I plan to upload my work at least once a week, so hopefully over time I will be able to see some improvements….

Thinking of Japan

I’ve been reading about the earthquakes in Japan and I feel sad, that there is so much damage and lost lives. Since I started learning Japanese months ago, I’ve come into contact with a few Japanese, whom I communicate with on a regular basis. Many of them are ok, but I have not heard from everyone. So, my best wishes to everyone in Japan…

Anyway, this photo was taken in Fukuoka, Japan last year. Food stalls (like this one) were only set-up at night. I regret that I did not eat at the stalls… I’ll just have to go back to Fukuoka :)

Happy Weekend.

Love the neon colors in this skull design- sooo coool.  The detail is also very cool.


Bird with arrow image is so cool due to theworn look of the print. 
You can switch out the bird if your not a big fan for something a little more you.


Love how this design is all in the bottom portion of the T-shirt. 
This image looks like it could be a few things which is why it made it to the cool image list.


Number 1 favorite- t-shirt designs that match sneakers
how cool is that.  Very Coool. 


Interesting bird image but love the colors and
hand drawn feel you get from this t-shirt.


Neat idea- Look like you have an Ipod when you don't.  Not sure why you'd
want to but this is a pretty cool design since it goes from the top
of the shirt and doesn't end until the bottom side.


This cool and fun t-shirt is showing how we are polluting our
environment with vehicles. Love the fun easy cartoon design great for all ages.

Painted flowers

After being stuck with a bigger piece for a while (which I am finding to be quite a challenge to complete), I was happy to paint a small one and finish it within the day. Not a subject that I would normally choose, but it was nice to do something a little different, and definitely good practice.

Hope you have a good creative week.

Remembering Grandma

Wire basket © Evelyn Howard 2011

My late Grandma made this basket. She came to visit us over 20 years ago, and asked my Mom to buy some wire for her to make a basket. With pliers, she twisted and turned the wire, added her magic and out came this basket. Mom said Grandma taught herself to make this. Pretty clever huh!

It was for eggs, but today, Mom is using it for clothes pegs.

Interesting sights along the longest outdoor covered outdoor escalator. Takes you 800 meters, and elevates over 135 meters. We took the escalator to the top and walked down. It was one of my favourite outings. Read more here.

Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Phuket 2007

It’s autumn in Australia and the weather is getting cooler. I am looking forward to seeing colourful trees and falling leaves. Up in the northern hemisphere, you must be welcoming the change in weather.

Anyway, today’s post is about hot, hot, hot Phuket. These photos were taken 4 years ago during our honeymoon.
