Affirmation:
Show appreciation and love and the rest shall come to you.



I would like to share the concept behind this piece if you have a bit of time.
I started this artwork around February. It’s been a long journey, sunny days and rainy days. Long working hours required determination and faith to be achieved. I spent almost every day studying those intricate compositions and fine details. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I enjoyed, and I am happy to say I finally have it completed in May.
By the time I have this artwork completed, I decided to name this artwork - A Life Time Story, which is an extension from my previous award-winning artwork – A Life Time Journey, A Life time blessing, and A Life Time Love.


In this particular painting, the delicate, exotic orchid represents love, luxury, beauty, and strength. In ancient Greece, orchids were associated with virility. Pink roses are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation.
Flowers represent us as humans, the wood tray and vases as the body carrying our soul and physical body, protecting us as a shield in the natural order.
The weaving basket stands for connections, the connection between families, friends, all the people around us. Even if you are apart, everyone is still being linked together as a whole, stronger together. Every passenger in our life, every stranger, people who are meant to cross our path for a reason, plays an irreplaceable role in this lifetime story.



This artwork is inspired by a graceful floral arrangement that I spotted in the local nursery. However, the side story- If you look close enough, you may notice from the details that there is something different from my usual approach.
In fact, these gorgeous blooms were referenced from artificial/ Man-made flowers. Due to the restriction in the covid era, that was somehow the best that I could get at that time.
I decided to be true to myself and to the time we live in, so I painted those as it is, kept the real details and let the viewer know the true story behind the scene.
Because we are all part of this story, and the story goes on. We write our story individually, meanwhiles, together as a whole. It is also a reminder of the special time that we come through. Our body kept us strong, alive, and healed, the heroes who keep the world moving.
The messages that I wanted to deliver to the viewer are the vitality and endless possibilities, the greater love that I experienced during my art process, and from mother nature.
Being inspired by nature enlighten me in all aspects of life. I started with some small projects, gaining enormous joy and peacefulness from the process. Then I started to work on more detailed and bigger pieces, at the same time, focusing on developing skills and my own style, which is a challenge that I set for myself from time to time, and a challenge I enjoyed with no doubt.


I am grateful and beyond humbled that I have had the love and support from my collectors and gallery since I started. What is even better is I get to know a little bit more about how the artwork plays an important role in their life. Gradually, Art is no longer a one-man journey to me when I started to get lovely feedbacks from collectors around the world, sharing their joyful experiences and inspirations from my artworks.



For people who read through the description, thank you for joining me on a life time story- a story that I write with my paintbrushes, the one last for a life time.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this artwork.
Artwork completed in Melbourne, Victoria, 2021 Winter.


-Bloom like flowers -
In this signature series of mine, flowers as the object represent life itself to me.
Our own will to be alive, and the way we want to be alive.
While I carefully paint these tiny flower petals or built up those fine leaves’ vines, it is like the way we try to figure out those uncertainties, furthermore, to be able to be closer to the truth a little bit more.

Affirmation: Let me be your sunshine on a rainy day, in the darkest hours, every day to shine your day.
<br>
I started this artwork around Dec 2021. It’s been a long journey, sunny days and rainy days. Long working hours required determination and faith to be achieved. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I enjoyed, and I am happy to say I finally have it completed around September 2022.
By the time I have this artwork completed, I decided to name this artwork - A Lifetime Sunshine, which is an extension of my previous artworks – A Life Time Journey, A Life Time blessing, A Life Time Commitment, A Life Time Love, A Life Time Story and A Life Time Grit.
I present you the latest piece from my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like flowers.
<br>
To experience the changing of the seasons and to present moments, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom in my surrounding during its flowering season. This artwork was inspired by my visit to Royal Botanic Garden in Cranbourne. I was drawn immediately to this particular Flowering Gum tree- Corymbia Ficifolia (Baby Orange) in bloom in the flowering season, one of the main reasons that I always come back to the Royal Botanic Garden.
<br>
In this particular artwork, there are flowers in full bloom gloriously under the sunlight, flowers in the blooming stage, as well as with closed buds most rounded and showing colour and buds with caps lifting on ready to bloom. Those are metaphor for all the precious moments in lifespan development. Eucalyptus flowers also have the symbolic meaning of Healing and Protection.
The flower always blooms in its own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.

<br>
Corymbia ficifolia
A Western Australian native tree with several small outlying populations further to the East, grows on sandy soils in low-lying areas of woodland.
Corymbia Ficifolia -Baby Orange, belongs to the family- MYRTACEAE. A small Australian flowering gum growing to around 3-4m tall. One of the most outstanding flowering trees in Australia with conspicuous flowers in vermillion-orange that cover the canopy in summer, followed by large woody fruits known as honkey nuts. The brilliant orange flowers in summer bring the birds into the garden. A gum tree for every garden, the eucalyptus flowers for everyone.
<br>
-Bloom like flowers -
Hsin Lin’s series Bloom Like Flowers explores the process of blooming and our connection to nature.
The signature series features meticulously detailed acrylic paintings and prints that celebrate native Australian flora and wildlife and highlight the ecologies and habitats that support and connect them.
Hsin Lin’s professional background in fashion design informs her skill and ability to capture the organic textural details of these subjects. Through sensitive observation and illustration every petal, facet or filament is rendered on canvas.

Blossoms of Life – The Eucalyptus Flower for Everyone
© 2022 Lauren M. Hancock
<br>
Inspire grow bloom empower
we look to Nature and see her
unfold beautifully hour by hour,
orange blossoms unfurl and dance
vitality within, creation
what a trance.
<br>
Hungry bees and birds yearn for nectar
anonymously visiting
collecting for themselves and others,
the artist and the poet observe from away
smiling at each other and the precious scene
they have to appreciate this fine day.
<br>
Upon her canvas the artist dabs a
spot of white against green as contrast
the poet gnaws her pencil thoughtfully,
a phrase emerges from her mind
she scrawls it down quickly.
<br>
Together they’ll create a scene of
sumptuous colours and phrases
which capture a moment flowingly,
their duet of vivid blossoms
the artist and the poet 
friends creating so joyously.Overall size - 55 x 66 x 2 cm, Professional finishing at the back.

BLOOMING ECHEVERIA
Original artwork -
Acrylic on Canvas . 
7/ Feb/ 2017

We were two weeks away for holiday, when we come back, almost every single plant in our garden looks dry and suffered from the heat , except this strong succulent plant.
It's blooming in small yellow flowers with red colour flower bud, plenty of them. 
You can feel the vitality and the power of mother nature from it.
It's kind of a never ending , divine, and selfless love which go straight into your heart, give you the power, and comfort you deeply.

Affirmation: Be brave, be confident, better days are on their way. 
<br>
Spider hibiscus- Hibiscus schizopetalus, also known as fringed rosemallow, Japanese lantern and coral hibiscus. These beautiful red flowers are very distinctive in their frilly, finely divided petals.
<br>
Hibiscus - the flower of Femininity, Beauty, Charm and Glory.
<br>
In Victorian times, giving a hibiscus meant that the giver was acknowledging the receiver's delicate beauty. In North America especially, a hibiscus means a perfect wife or woman.
Hibiscus also symbolize glory if it is given to both men and women.
<br>
I painted this artwork while missing my family overseas, as hibiscus is one of their favourite flowers.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time especially we don’t travel in this certain period of time.
Best wishes for our loved ones wherever they are.

-WILD BOTANICAL ABSTRACT SERIES by H.Lin-
<br>
I am HSIN LIN, Full Time Artist based in Melbourne Australia, obsessed with the beauty of flowers. 
From where I live in Bayswater, there is a big field of forest nearby.
My creating process normally start from a short walk into the woods, touching the texture of the barks, feeling the sunlight reflecting on the leaves and grasses. 
I then collect whatever I found during the walk as inspiration. 
Sometimes would be the gum tree, oak tree, pine tree leaves, or bird feathers; in autumn I have acorns, and wattles in winter. There's only one rule for my collecting process, never take from the living tree/life. 
I collect what had fallen only, and those are the gift from the nature of the day for me.
<br>
This painting is painted after my visiting of Royal Botanic Garden in Cranbourne recently, as Banksia has a special place in my heart.  A brave, evergreen native tree with the humbled strength. 
<br>
All banksias produce copious nectar and are ideal for attracting wildlife into gardens. Seeds are also eaten by cockatoos, particularly the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo.
Banksia also symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings.

<br>
Artist Acrylic on Acid-free canvas. Sealed with clear spray varnish. 
Signed at the front, sides painted and ready to hang. 
Comes with a certificate of authenticity. 
Painted with palette knife and brushes.
<br>
Affirmation: The world is your colour palette, let’s colour the mood and journey bright.
<br>
As many of you may know I don’t paint birds often, but when I do it’s normally a self-projection.
This artwork was inspired by my visit to the Ballarat Bird World. I spent a wonderful day observing all our precious Australian Native Birds.
Rosella has the spiritual meaning of eternal love, devotion, or a shared journey in life.
<br>
Pale-headed Rosella (Platycercus adscitus) are common in Australia, their vivid hues enriching the colour in nature whenever we see them. The Pale yellow and blue rosella can be easily identified by its iconic white and yellow head. Endemic to eastern Australia. Occurs in a wide range of open habitats, and mostly in pairs rather than large flocks.

Affirmation:
Friend is family by choice.
Partner is family by choice.
And you my dear, you are my family by choice.
-We are all different, but we make each other better. -
<br>
Cockatoos symbolize change and to embrace self-love. They also represent a sense of community and the importance of communication
<br>
As many of you may know I don’t paint birds often, but when I do it’s normally a self-projection.
This artwork was inspired by my visit to the Ballarat Bird World. I spent quite some time observing this playful little friend – White Cockatoo, one of my favourite Australian Native Birds.
Which also inspired me to paint this artwork as an extension of my previous series. Like a year book, featuring all our friends, carrying all kinds of memories.
Each bird has different appearance, different personality, and each one of them might remind you of that specific, special friend of yours. That person might be bubbly, fun or even weird in an amazing way, and you love them no matter what.
<br>
That’s why I name this series – Family by Choice. Hope you enjoy this original series of mine.

Metallic Gold paint is used. It’s rich in texture and shines beautifully when you look at the physical painting.

<br>
Written in Gold - Meaning it is true, or becoming true by making a commitment.
Wattle flower – the symbol of life, renewal and potential.
The green and gold are the national colours of Australia, first used in 1899.
<br>
To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surroundings, during its flowering season. This is my 2nd depiction of the gorgeous flowering wattle tree near my studio, which I walk past during my daily walk routine every day. The first one had found good home in QLD.
<br>
The flower always blooms in its own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.

<br>
Affirmation: Be your own king, higher and stronger.
<br>
To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surroundings, during its flowering season. This artwork was inspired by a day trip to Ferny Creek, Mount Dandenong.
This gorgeous bouquet of white king protea caught my attention. Two giant king proteas stand tall in a white porcelain vase, feels like time has frozen on the spot, quiet and sacred.
<br>
The king protea is the most popular variety, having one of the largest flower heads in the Protea family.
Protea cynaroides, also known as Protea King White. White Protea stands for Purity, Honesty, and Integrity.
<br>
Protea flowers - native to Australia and South Africa, symbolized Strength, Courage, and Love. Therefore, there’s a saying that protea makes a great gift for someone who's about to embark on an exciting life experience or transformation.
I am especially in love with the story behind the name: In Greek legend, proteas were named after Proteus, the son of Poseidon. A sea god who had the power to know all things past, present, and future. 
<br>
The flower always blooms in its own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.
