On my last birthday my baby taught me to 划船仔. It was both great fun and a big achievement of mine, 'coz I never thought I could handle the boat that fast. I even dared to do it again on my own in Taiwan, where I longed that you were there with me. Today we were here again =) I really enjoyed rowing the boat with you and the two of us floating up and down in the boat on the sea. Baby blowing bubbles was also cute!
Another fun thing today was baby driving my car, safely!! haha, need more effort on correct positioning in the lane =)
At night, we went to Saikung for monkey's 墨魚團. I had my birthday cake celebration on boat. But the squids were not too coorporative ah ha... though they were tasty XD
After having sweetsoup at 滿記, we drove 阿杰 home and also 殺上佢屋企!! XD so spontaneous and fun~
Finally baby and I went home and had a sweet night together. Love you baby <3
George Inness, Born Newburgh, NY 1825
-died Bridge of Allan, Scotland 1894
Niagara, 1889, oil on canvas, 29 7⁄8 x 45 in.
Landscape painter, largely self-taught. Inness absorbed influences of the Barbizon and Hudson River Schools. The rich colors and emotional intensity in his later works were likely derived from his study of the pantheistic philosophy of Emanuel Swedenborg.
Niagara (1889) by George Inness is a painting that manages to capture our attention as an image at once familiar and strange. It is familiar in its subject matter, yet disconcerting in the ambiguity of its treatment by the artist.
George Inness was an artist who evolved his style and technique constantly throughout a long career. He established himself initially as a landscape painter in the Hudson River School tradition. Trips to Rome and Paris in the 1850s introduced him to the Barbizon School, and had a profound impact on his art. He developed a much looser style of landscape painting that emphasized atmospheric effects over naturalistic detail, and came to be known as Tonalism in the 1880s.
Inness first visited Niagara in 1881 and depicted the falls a total of nine times in oil and watercolor, in a variety of manners. Some of his images emphasize the natural force of the waterfall (Niagara Falls, 1885, Luce Foundation Center), while others document the impact of human activity on the site in the form of viewing platforms and the industrial developments on the shoreline (Blue Niagara, 1884, Museum of Fine Art, Boston).
Niagara Falls had suffered ecologically from decades of tourism and factories that harnessed the natural forces of the Niagara River. The 1880s was a period of campaigning for the situation to be improved. A bill to establish the Niagara Reservation was passed in 1883, shortly after the election of Grover Cleveland as governor of New York. Funding for the project to restore the natural appearance of the site was allocated in 1885, and plans for the works, drawn up by esteemed landscape architects Frank Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, were finally submitted in 1887. These historical circumstances have particular bearing on Inness’ interest in Niagara as a subject. Yet SAAM’s painting of 1889 seems to resist a straightforward reading of the image as a message in support of environmentalism.
The image is thick with atmospheric effect as the waters cascade down the American Falls. The viewer is placed in an elevated position on the American bank, with a scumbled, green scrub in the bottom left, flecked with undefined touches of white, orange, and black paint. Inness’ painting of Niagara from 1893 in the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum is a much more clearly defined painting, from the same perspective, and offers us answers with regards to the flecks of white, orange, and black — they are figures on the shoreline, possibly fellow artists sketching the scene. The image inverses the effects of vision, as the foreground appears hazier than the horizon. Is this the effects of water tossed into the air from its fall? Or an artistic strategy to get us to focus elsewhere — to the chimney stack jutting above the horizon like a ship’s mast, billowing a pinkish black smoke into the dense gray sky?
Inness’ inclusion of this smoking chimney is the detail that precipitates ambiguity with regards to the painting’s intended meaning. It belonged to a paper mill on Bath Island, in the middle of the falls, which had been part of the Niagara Falls Paper Manufacturing Company since 1815. The curious thing is that the mill was destroyed for a second time in 1882 – a year after Inness’ visit to Niagara, and seven years before SAAM's painting. The artist would surely have known this by 1889, so what does its inclusion in the painting tell us about his intentions? Was he simply recreating the scene as he remembered it? Could he have been drawing attention to the negative impacts of human activity on nature? Or was he simply concerned with the harmonious tonal effects created by the combination of clouds, smoke and spray? The composition of the painting draws attention to the smoke stack, yet the smoke itself does not seem threatening, as its pinkish-gray hues melt into the dark gray skies. We may recall Whistler’s descriptions of factories on the banks of the Thames in his Ten O’Clock lecture (1885):
When the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil – and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky – and the tall chimneys become campanile – and the warehouses are palaces in the night – and the whole city hangs in the heavens, […] Nature, […] sings her exquisite song to the Artist alone
The softness of the chimney smoke may suggest that Inness was more concerned about the aesthetic qualities of his painting, than any political message. Yet the contradiction of form and treatment continue to attract viewers’ attention today. As our own place in the world is becoming increasingly scrutinized, Niagara stands as an image that is rooted firmly in its time, but still has much to say to us today.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum is the home to one of the most significant and most inclusive collections of American art in the world. Its artworks reveal America’s rich artistic and cultural history from the colonial period to today. The museum’s main building is located at Eighth and G streets N.W., above the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station. Admission is free.
The museum has been a leader in identifying and collecting significant aspects of American visual culture, including photography, modern folk and self-taught art, African American art, Latino art, and video games. The museum has the largest collection of New Deal art and exceptional collections of contemporary craft, American impressionist paintings and masterpieces from the Gilded Age. In recent years, the museum has focused on strengthening its contemporary art collection, and in particular media arts, through acquisitions, awards, curatorial appointments, endowments, and by commissioning new artworks.
Explore the sweep of the American imagination across four centuries at the nation's flagship museum for American art and craft. Dive into inspiring artworks, the reimagined collection, and an array of special exhibitions including Glenn Kaino: Bridge. Experience our offerings both online and in person at our two locations, including national educational programs, innovative research, video interviews with artists, virtual artist studio tours, lectures, audio guides, and more. Admission is always free.
Since 1968, the National Portrait Gallery has been housed in the former Patent Office building, a structure designed by Robert Mills in the neoclassical style and built between 1836-1867. This historic building, which is the third oldest government building in the city, is shared with another Smithsonian museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The building's marble and granite porticos are inspired by those of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
An undulating steel and glass canopy wows visitors who enter the Kogod Courtyard. Inside you’ll find diners from the museum’s café, tourists soaking their weary feet in the shallow fountain running across the space, and students taking advantage of free Wi-Fi in the light and airy setting. The modern roof seals the center of the old Patent Office Building, currently shared by the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. Architect Norman Foster designed the roof to have minimal impact on the building by creating a support system that prevents direct contact and weight placement on it. Unlike most of the other Smithsonian Museums located on the Mall, this gem is found in the busy Penn Quarter of downtown D.C. It is a favorite place to bring visitors, not only for the impressive courtyard space, but also for the preserved architecture of the patent offices on the top floor. Check the Smithsonian’s website for special courtyard workshops, concerts, or events. The museum is right near the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro on the green, yellow, and red lines.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum showcases rotating exhibits, which have previously exposed visitors to work created in response to the Vietnam War, glasswork, native women artists and more. The Smithsonian American Art Museum also operates a separate branch, the Renwick Gallery, devoted to contemporary craft and decorative arts.

My boyfriend taught me how to make perfect scrambled eggs :)
6 extra large eggs
2 oz. shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1. Use a stick blender to mix the eggs thoroughly.
2. Heat a small non-stick pot or skillet on low.
3. Pour in the eggs and stir, scrape and chop them with a silicone spatula as they gently cook over the low heat. The eggs will take about 5 minutes to cook.
4. When the eggs have reached the stage where they are nearly done and still look a little bit creamy, turn off the burner and add the shredded cheese, stirring and chopping at the eggs to mix in the cheese thoroughly.
5. Divide and serve.
serves: 2
*I don't add any oil or butter (or seasonings) when cooking scrambled eggs. The oil or butter would cause the eggs to burn and adding seasonings (like pepper) would discolor them, so wait until they are cooked to sprinkle seasonings onto them.
We usually serve these with potato hash and jelly toast for breakfast so the only seasoning we add is just some sea salt and parsley because the hash already has various seasonings.

Notes
Alvin taught me how to play chess here on the last day of August, 2004.
My father's mother taught all of her kids to sew. When it came time for the grandkids to learn, she never really taught us. So, I learned a simple stitch today..... finally... after all these years.
The devastation in Haiti brought out the community spirit in me, and I went to Sue Rock Originals in Brooklyn, to lend a hand with making skirts for the survivors of the earthquake. Well, the place was pretty crowded so my aunt took the fabric back to her house, and instructed me on how to do a single hem. She was so excited that I got it downpact instantly. Whoa... something has awoken this spirit inside of me.
OK, so now I am ready to get my own machine, some pretty fabric, and the Vogue Sewing book, and make something cute. As if knitting isn't enough to keep me busy!
Who taught me to scrapbook?
In 2008 my childhood and best friend introduced me to scrapbooking!
Kathy and I went on a journey in June of 2007 together to explore the East Coast. We had talked about doing this for many years. Kathy lives in Fairbanks, Alaska and I live in Chugiak, Alaska. The driving time between our homes is 5 1/2 hours. This was finally the year that neither one of us had “family summer commitments.” We planned our journey and made reservations at B & B’s along the route that we would be taking. We did this planning via long distance telephone calls, e-mail and the internet.
I have to say that I really enjoyed the planning part because we got to talk so much more that we normally did. How comforting is the sound of your best friend’s voice? It has been said that everlasting friends go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship. These friends pick up phones like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live and they don’t hold grudges. They understand that life is busy and you will ALWAYS love them. This is the kind of friendship we have. Having grown up together, I never have to explain why or how I feel because she knows so much about me already.
On September 1, 2008 (for my birthday) she gave me a beautiful scrapbook of our journey together to the East Coast. *** I am submitting the dedication page from the scrapbook that she gave me. I thought it was appropriate to submit the page today with my story.*** I fell in love with scrapbooking on the spot! Kathy invited me to Fairbanks for a scrapbooking retreat weekend in March of 2009. What an awesome experience that was. On my way home from the airport I stopped and bought my first Cricut and the rest is history.
This year I taught Kyle how to make traditional Lithuanian Easter eggs, or well how to make them the way my dad taught me years ago.
First you blow out the eggs so they are hollow, then dye them with onion skins over night, and then scratch out the design using something sharp. You can also add some gloss when you are done so they shine. I used a spray gloss this time to make sure nothing smudged.
Happy Easter Egging!
Taught a class at Nakuru Day Secondary School on Electronics. Here the students are recapping the first three lessons.
Taught a small boat handling class the first part of this past week, and Thursday afternoon we took the "Grace Qwan" from her berth at Hyde Street Pier to the boatyard in the southern part of The City for haul out.
Several of the students in the class sailed on the junk. The rest of them sailed on the schooner "Alma" for the afternoon.
Joan Levy Hepburn taught 12 students in a studio course called Seeing Form & Color with Drawing and Painting during an IAP seminar for a week at M.I.T. in January of 2016. The main purpose of this course was to learn about visual language, and training the brain to see the interconnected reality of all forms. Awakening full mind and body awareness of perception stimulates invention and creative thought in all fields of study. The students in this seminar came from a variety of disciplines and most had limited experience in drawing or painting. The main focus was to document the journey of visual discovery through drawing and painting, rather than "making art". Verbal language - naming isolated objects - obstructs the ability to see how all forms connect and create new hybrid forms. This seminar was the experience of opening consciousness to "think outside of the box" and be more fully aware. The main instruction was to "draw what you see, not what you think you know".

Taught Achan how to do HDR last weekend and I've uploaded four of his cool creations. :)
Here's the link to the set.
We taught the kids Bible verses, and they found the verses and read them out loud from the Bible for the first time. They read John 3:16 and John 1:1, and we explained to them what the verses mean about Jesus and how to be saved. We also sang songs about Jesus and gave them food. These kids live in a very poor trailer park neighborhood in Sarasota. We spread the word for more kids to come next week, distributing fliers around the neighborhood.
