Al Ain Zoo

Al Ain Zoo is the largest zoo in the UAE and an attractive place to visit.  We

went there from time to time sketching.  This time I did better with

3 sketches, not great but better. 

Flowers in the Paradise Park

This trip was a bit complicated.  The park changed the opening time to late afternoon

without notice.  We're there in the morning and have to get permission from

the manager.  We finally got a special permission to enter.  Good grief!

 what a beautiful park that is full of all kind of flowers.

It's must be very expensive garden.

Worth waiting for jing jing

Home work

This is the home work from last watercolour club meeting.  I couldn't

get the right green.  I'd like to paint the shadow but

I'm afraid that I will mess it up.

Watercolour Club in Al Ain, UAE

My first painting on the sketch book and painted it at home.  It is over work

after all :(  

The second painting, painted on 300 gms paper.  We had a such an enjoyable

and happy time painting out door.  The weather is wonderful,

nice and cool in the beautiful garden that is full of flowers.

Back to painting

After I left my brush dry for nearly three months,  I'm excited

to start painting again.  Started with 130 grms paper, cause I not sure if my

brush stroke will be still good enough for the better paper. 

It seems just fine, I guess.

I walked to the bank this morning.  The weather is getting warmer, it's

about 25 C.  On my way back, I bought a few kinds of nuts for

hubby at the nuts shop.  Then stopped at my favourite Lebanese

 restaurant to take away homus for lunch. 

Emm.. delicious...miss ya..

Housing project renovation done

Beside

I'd like to forget about how hard we worked to get our own house repaired from historic flood damaged for a while.  May be until next summer break.

Here is our and partners holiday housing project by the beach of Phrachuap Kiri khan south of Thailand about 74 km from Hua Hin.  Now it is ready for holiday

maker who wants to take a deep breath in the quiet beautiful

long clean beach and enjoy fresh sea foods.

That I'm proud to present.

Historic flood @ home

Our house after repaint in Oct 2010.

Here it was a historic flood in Thailand, October - December 2011. 

The highest water level on the street was 2.5 m and in side the

house was 1.5 m.  Until today we don't know when we can 

move in and big clean up .  We also don't know how

much it will cost for renovation.  Very sad :(
