Eel Festival 2020

An Aboriginal young dancer at Welcome ceremony in Eel Festival at Sydney Living Museum, Elizabeth Farm. Parramatta means "place of the eels" in Burramattagal language. So, this festival respects Indigenous people's culture and language and discovers the heritage. Lovely to see anyone hugging each other, having fun and smiling! 

The dance performers talked of the importance of equality and emphasised, "We're the same human beings." Yes, indeed. 

Thank you very much for modelling!
Your team's dance and music performance was great. Always people interest me most. A very hot day, but cool breezes were nice. 

Busy. Please pardon my laziness of blogging. But thank you very much for visiting and supporting. I've been working on the picture book projects, a book cover and portraits. Sketching like above is my break between projects at a weekend. They are my references at the same time. Also, very happy to see many blog friends have become big names in art industry. 
I'll strive for my own dream and want to achieve it. 
Friends, you, too, let us find our own ways and become "who I am" fully.
Happy Painting!
