It is originally a Lam Duc Manh's paiting called Views of the River. When I first saw his painting, I was amazed. I knew that this was the kind of picture I wanted to paint. My teacher helped coloring the river since the technique was new for me, but mostly I did it myself.

I know copying is not good. But, I think it's okay if the aim is for learning. Duc Man used oil to paint his, but I used acrylic because acrylic is easy to clean :P FYI, this is Duc man original painting (click here)

Anyway, I'm in love with others Vietnamese artist's work. They have the same style that I liked. Yesterday I saw Nguyen Minh Son's paintings. Wow, they're just b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. Ah, I think I'll paint his next time

Ini guyonannya Mamaku jaman duluuu banget pas aku lagi nge-fans banget sama bassist FT Island, Lee Jae Jin.

Mama : "Jangan salah lho Put, gitu-gitu mama keturunan Korea."
Putri : "Hah?"
Mama : "Iya dong, nama bapakku kan Djaemanto (baca: Jaemanto)"
Putri : --a'

Jadi inget almarhum kakekku. Terutama wakktu nemu foto seorang pemuda yang ganteng banget di rumah nenekku, eh ternyata itu kakekku.
