Yes, a dream that is hard to fulfil in a very urbanised very crowded very expensive city called Singapore. Oh I should focus on the positives :) And so I looked for motifs on the Internet (where else) that I would like for my shop - an artsy street location, a Shanghainese lady portrait will do quite nice for signage art, a laid back wooden feel with lotsa little embellishments like a stained glass window, peranakan tiles decor, an antique gramophone, a chalkboard duster sign, and of course, plentiful art and knick-knacks.
Sigh. Now all I need is the dough. Yes, I am working hard for it! In the meantime, am going back to a bit of my dark expressionist tendencies for a piece inspired by Japan Kyoto's Philosopher's Path. Those who have been will recognize the emblems of fishing teddies and the carnival carriage. It's a beautiful walk and one that invokes creativity and imagination, so ask not what the painting means, just feel and interpret as you will.
Merry X'mas & may all your dreams come true :)
