This work was painted during my student days when
I have to save whatever money to buy painting materials.
Those were the days when a piece of roti canai cost 20cents
and a plate of fried 'hokkien' noodles cost 50cents.
Mostly lunch and dinner consisted of 2 pieces of roti canai and
a bowl of foc. curry soup thrown in.
Happy days of course is all about the opportunities to paint and paint.

Homage to Rubens(Daniel in the Lions' Den-1615)
1974
11.5inx14.5in
Watercolor on Paper.
One of those assignment where a detail analysis of a masterpiece is done
to unlock the 'secrets' of its enduring impact on the viewers.
I completed it in 4 months. I attempt to reinterpret this great masterpiece to
reflect the 'quick-paced' lifestyle that I felt was fast approaching around the corner.
long later the advent of the desktop computers ( Commodore & Atari costing over rm10,000) was to change forever my lifestyle.
