This oil painting on newspaper-covered canvas won the "Dr. Tan Tsze Chor Art Award" for "Outstanding work" in 2016. A few of Singapore's iconic or Heritage buildings around the open grassy Padang are visible or suggested -- Raffles Hotel is out of view to the right, suggested by its row of photogenic travellers-palms fronting it along Beach Road. The red-brick building on the left, one of the old structures of an old army camp, has been conserved. It is now a part of upmarket The South Beach development. The painting's Title points to the old Supreme Court Building - built in1939, now re-purposed as National Gallery Singapore. Its oxidised greenish-blue dome peeps over the trees around Singapore Cricket Club (1852). *** Inspired by: the plight of Migrant Workers around the world. Here, they are taking a break from their equipment to discuss an issue. Made at a time when a smoky haze filled the air in some parts of South-east Asia. ***The title alludes to Environmental pollution and high-level bilateral talks between Singapore and her neighbours about how to resolve the yearly haze situation. Newspapers were used to convey these things: Communication of ideas and info; Progress; Toil & Grit; the Bridging of people & places, and the commonalities among different peoples.

Singapore
I paint mostly in oils. I started my journey some 20 years ago, attending many art courses and workshops, including those taught by skilled and talented artists in Australia and the U.S. My background is in journalism - writing and editing. I have authored several commemorative books and will soon publish a book on Bees and Hive products, illustrating it with several of my own paintings. I'm a keen photographer and am always on the lookout for light and shadows to capture and paint. I'm drawn to urban scenes, such as heritage buildings juxtaposed against skyscrapers. I also love painting still-lifes, using my store of old-school/ vintage objects and artefacts. I'm mother to four grown children and am a news & info junkie. Some of my artworks are on Instagram: < nancyloh_paintstories > More about me:: < blueswingproject.wordpress.com/ >
