Emily Hill

We went to visit the exhibition entilted "The Art of Lee Boon Ngan" at The Pravite Museum on Emily Hill. I knew of Lee Boon Wang's art together with Chua Mia Tee and Lai Kui Fang when I was a young student. I only discovered now from the exhibition that Lee Boon Ngan was the sister of Lee Boon Wang and the loving wife of Chua Mia Tee. Their daughter, an accomplished gynaecologist colloabrated with The Private Museum to mount this unique exhibition to showcase her mother's artwork focusing more on flora, flowers. We will all so glad we visited the exhibition which would end next week on 21 Sep 2025.

After the guided tour, many sketchers still came for the sketchwalk under the group "I Jio You Sketching" at the very quiet part of Singapore to sketch undeterred under the rain! I set up my sketching station with my big umbrella behind me on a cone I found nearby. I had to sketch very quickly when I let the rain drops wet my pants and my shoes. The sky was done at home.

First sketch in a new sketchbook.
