While the year brought numerous achievements, there were some goals I fell short on:
• Publishing a tutorial book on painting.
• Establishing online lessons.
• Conducting drawing/painting workshops in Hong Kong.
• Presenting a solo show in Hong Kong.
Here are some sketches created during my time in Hong Kong. Admittedly, my productivity in painting hasn't been as high as before. Nonetheless, I look forward to the possibilities that the coming year holds.
