Owners' best ten Paintings in 2019

The owner of Asnet Art Gallery again like 2018 made little improvement in his paintings in 2019 though total failures were few among more than 300 sketches. The best ten were selected from several different categories of flowers including so called 'weeds'.



This the best one in 2019. The name is unknown. I happened to find this in HK Botanical Garden. A very short period in this shape and color.

This is the 2nd best. This is Lantana Camara, grows as a weed as well as a garden flower due to its changing colors - yellow - orange - red - pink - purple and in between.
The Japanese name (though not grows as weeds) Seven Change Colors (七変化).













This is the 3rd best. This is a kind of Egg Plant small tree.

This is a wild flower found at a road side.












The Japanese writing means <A root of a tree is bitter but the flowers are pretty and fruits are sweet>.




































The above tens are mostly made in Hong Kong Park and HK (Zoological and) Botanical Garden.

The owner spent a lot of time in the 2nd half of 2019 to find beautiful 'weeds' seen on road sides, at  construction sites, bus stops, etc instead of parks, flower gardens and botanical gardens. I hope you will see the beauty of weeds.
