Back from France

Just came back from France where I caught a bad cold.

I Am sitting here in China where the days are becoming colder and I am looking forward to be going to Thailand to spend Xmas.

I have been working on my latest oil paintings in Hong Kong but am struggling on colours and how am trying to work out how I could soften the back of the painting to give more depth. It's full of warm colours and reflects a hot June day on the Cote d'Azur in the village of Bormes les Mimosas, a village that I visited in June this year. I will re-publish it when I will have finally tamed these colours.

Yesterday, I got myself a new 3G mobile to replace my old Sony Ericsson. We are definitly becoming enslaved by electronics but it is useful.

I had an interesting dinner a couple of nights ago and debated many aspects of the world's hypothetical future with a former Treasurer of Hong Kong. He was really spot-on on his analysis, I argued that Sorros move on Thailand prior to the Asian crisis was really designed to put Japan on its knees. He finally seemed to agree with my theory. Perhaps I should ask George directly? hehehe...
