Chinatown,Changing Landscape

The characteristic of Chinatown is its people, the first generation immigrants came here two centuries ago from China,yet the people who live here care less about the issue of preservations and modernization, lives are so simple... to live and die here. The tourist who travel from far away countries are very curious to see how these people live in this old mysterious neighbourhood, those traditional trades, like clogmaker, sidewalk fortuneteller, barber, calligrapher, chinese deities-carvers, or whether they should try to taste some exotic food, such as the snake soup and turtle soup.

I like your street scenes - the viewer can hear the noises of the hustle and bustle of the city - extraordinary and full of atmosphere. Great artwork!!!

Wonderful detail to the buildings and shops.. love the work with the shadows.. and choice of colours - darker, mysterious shades, and oils rather than watercolour for a heavier feeling/atmosphere... Excellent job Francis!! :o)
