“I catch a flash of red-gold beneath the surface of the water, and realize that there are koi in the pond, massive, serene, and I wonder: are they dreams of fish, or fish who dream?”— Sarah Monette

Artwork inspired by my memory of visiting a temple up the mountain with family in Hong Kong many years ago. There’s a big pond in the garden, I observed those red- golden big koi swimming peacefully in the lily pond, these koi seem happy, and must have lived many years to grow this big.
I enjoyed the scene quietly, captured the magical scene with my eyes, and the memory is fresh just like it was yesterday.
This artwork is also painted during the lockdown in Victoria as we are having it again.
A special isolation diary that I wrote with my paintbrushes. Hope you enjoy this original artwork of mine.

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- When the orchid blooms in the colour of the sun, love, hope and happiness radiate into your heart.
<br>
When an Artist paint an artwork, we put a piece of ourselves out there, into the painting.
To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surrounding, during its flowering season.
In this particular painting, the delicate, exotic and graceful orchid represents love, luxury, beauty and strength. The fact that it can survive during cold temperatures is what makes the plant popular.
Cymbidium Orchid Flower also symbolizes perfection, passion, refinement and wealth.
<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.

Be A Rainbow In Your Clouds- Eastern Rosella

<br>
Eastern Rosella -also known as the rosella, white cheeked rosella and rosella parakeet, mainly eat seeds but also berries, blossoms, nectar, fruit and insects.
They have white cheeks, bright red heads and necks and blue flight feathers.
Feathers on their backs and wings are black, edged with yellow-green or yellow.
The native symbols of Rosella are eternal love and devotion.
Rosella also indicates love and a shared journey.
<br>
As many of you may know I don’t paint birds very often, but when I do it’s normally a self-projection.
From where I live in Bayswater, there is a big field of open woodland near my studio.
My creating process normally start from a short walk into the woods, touching the texture of the tree barks, feeling the sunlight reflecting on the leaves and grasses.
I then collect whatever I found during the walk as inspiration. 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>
The grassland is always my favourite playground, especially during the lockdown. I often accompanied by varies local birds such as cockatoos, magpies, colourful rosellas, lorikeets and kookaburras during the walk. 
This time, I encountered a beautiful friend. A branch of fallen pine tree leaves is what I picked up.
<br>
My eyes landed on this colourful rosella resting quietly on the branch of one of the giant, old pine tree. 
In winter, pine tree leaves show different shades of colors, the earthy tone gave me a feeling of zen and tranquillity - a peace of mind. It’s a peaceful and delightful scene to enjoy.
I captured this beautiful friend with my paint brushes and canvas, worked on it for quite sometimes and finally have it completed while painting on my front yard under the warm winter sun.  
I would like to share the beautiful moment with you, hope this artwork be the brightest rainbow in your Clouds.

Riverview in wonderland
60.9 x91.4 x4 cm
24 " X 36 " Acrylic on pine frame Canvas.
21/March /2017.
<br>
This painting was inspired by nature in Warburton, Yarra River, east of Lilydale, on the road to Mount Donna Buang,
It was a calm and quiet afternoon and I was fascinated by the view of the golden sunlight shines on the right side of the trees and the glistening river.
In a valley between heavily forested mountains, feel the water flows toward you, you are the one who's in your own way. Everything you desired is already yours.
Water is the start of life, from Feng Shui point of view, water is also well known as the symbol of fortune.
A nonstop, steady river water flows toward you brings you great luck and financial abundance.
A variety of different colourful foliage symbolized the abundance of life.

Affirmation: The reality is now, let’s play to win.


This artwork was inspired by my visit to Royal Botanic Garden in Cranbourne. I was drawn immediately to this particular Eucalyptus macrocarpa tree in full bloom in the flowering season. I love the details on those large ovate grey leaves and the earthy tone on the plant.
The rough surface on the gum nuts and the smooth silky texture on the flowers, display of greatest strength of life.


I present you the latest piece from my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like flowers.
Eucalyptus Macrocarpa (Mottlecah), a sprawling mallee endemic to Western Australia. 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.


-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 build up those fine leaf veins, 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.

<br>
Affirmation: While there are a thousand ways to say I love you, my strongest love language is always acts of service.
<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 depiction of the gorgeous bouquet that was gifted to me by my family and family members overseas as a surprise, during the opening night of my solo exhibition - Bloom Like Flowers, presented by Maroondah City Council at Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery. (Melbourne, Australia) Even the galley curators kept a secret till I saw a large, breathtakingly beautiful bouquet with the crowd during the opening. 
<br>
I was overwhelmed by a surge of various emotions. Words could not describe how happy and grateful I am for all the love and support I received. Sometimes the strongest love may be left unsaid but presents itself loudest in action. 
Therefore, I chose to express it in the best way I could think of - with my paint brushes and canvas.
<br>
All the native blossoms bloom gloriously. A precious memory that I will cherish forever. Therefore, I have the title - A Thousand Ways to Love, to say I love you, for this particular artwork.
<br>
I started this artwork around Dec 2022. It’s been a long journey, sunny days and rainy days. To depict the different textures of those special native flowers correctly, somedays I even had to start all over if I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome the day before. Some of the tepals are velvety, some are furry, and some have woody, rough surfaces or relatively firm textures.
The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I always enjoyed. The flowers I painted during day sometimes appear in my dreams. After 12 months of production time, I finally had it completed on Dec 2023.
Here I present you the latest piece from my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like Flowers.
<br>
BANKSIA prionotes, a species of shrub or tree of the genus Banksia in the family Proteaceae, also known as Acorn Banksia or Orange Banksia. In the Language of Flowers, Banksia symbolizes rebirth, regeneration and new beginnings.
<br>
Amaranthus, with tiny flowers blooming in cascading clusters creating a weeping effect, is considered a symbol of immortality due to its longevity.
The name Amaranthus came from the Greek “amarantos”, meaning “unfading”, which also describes the vivid colours of the flowers that can last for weeks while on the plant.
<br>
Dracula Celosia, formerly Celosia cristata, also known as cockscomb, is the crested variety of the species Celosia argentea.
The unusual shape and richly-hued blooms of the flower is not the only reason why it stands out, it’s also believed that celosia is a good omen.
Celosia is a symbol of boldness. If you want to wish someone courage, gifting Celosia to the person you care about will send the right message. Celosia flowers also stand for affection, love, individuality, partnership, resilience, and strength.
<br>
Yellow Paper Daisy, also known as Sticky Everlasting, Shiny Everlasting, or Golden Everlasting.
Yellow Daisy stands for youthful beauty and gentleness. Some people look at the daisy to be a symbol of good luck. However, the most popular meanings attached to the daisy are - loyal love, innocence, and purity.
As for my all-time favourite - Eucalyptus flowers and gum nuts stand for Healing and Protection.
<br>
Flowers always bloom in their 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>
White orchid stands for innocence, beauty and elegance.
The colour white also signifies reverence and humility.
-WILD BOTANICAL ABSTRACT SERIES 2018 by H.Lin- 
<br>
This particular painting is inspired by a gathering with one of my close friends, who paid us a visit from overseas.
<br>
Love have always been a complicated subject to me, and it comes in many different kinds of form. 
True love is not always about red roses every day, in the contrary, there's mutual understanding, empathy, communication, caring and sometimes struggles involved.
No matter it is pleasant or not, every emotion is real and true, and those are all the proof that we are having love right here right now. 
It may not easy to love, but we never stop trying.
White Orchids that we encountered that day is the flower I chose to salute the great love that showed by my dear friend to his beloved partner.
 <br>
Artwork inspired by a stunning flower arrangement in East Melbourne, Victoria, Spring 2018. 
 <br>
Thank you for stopping by my Original Artwork.

Joyous Heart Forever Love – Waratah, Firewood Banksia, White Protea and Pine
75 x 75 x 2.5 cm

<br>
Affirmation: Love goes on in the joyous season.
<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 Queenscliff, Victoria. This gorgeous bouquet caught my attention. All the native flowers in this flower arrangement bloom gloriously just like the beautiful sunny day that we had that day.
<br>
The Red Waratah flower (Telopea), native to the south-eastern parts of Australia - New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, is the symbol of undying love.  The bright red Telopea speciosissima is also the NSW state emblem.
The inflorescence of Proteaceae is often large, blooming in brightly, vivid colour, consisting of many small flowers densely packed into a compact head or spike. There’s also a saying that the aboriginal people soaked the Waratah in water and drank it as a tonic of strength.
<br>
The white Protea Niobe (Protea magnifica x laurifolia) has light yellow flowers with trims of soft black, purplish foliage that outline the tips of the petals. Protea is also associated with change and transformation, and diversity.  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>
Banksia menziesii, also known as firewood banksia or strawberry banksia. Leaves are dull green with new growth in greyish green. Flowers are often in two-coloured red or pink and yellow.
Menzies Banksia is commonly seen in Australian Parks and gardens, it provides food for animals and birds, in particular- honeyeaters. 
<br>
Banksia symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. To move on from the past courageously, to have the strength to look forward to tomorrow.
<br>
Leucadendrons are often used to convey an appreciation for simplicity in life. The blossoms are uncomplicated and have a simple appearance to them. Simple beauty is one of the most popular meanings for this bloom.
<br>
As for my all-time favourite - Pine leaves, are often considered to be a symbol of longevity and endurance because of their ability to withstand harsh conditions.
<br>
All the native blossoms bloom gloriously. A precious memory that I would like to cherish forever. Therefore, I have the title - Joyous Heart Forever Love, for this particular artwork.
<br>
Flowers always bloom in their 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.
