Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

Simple Life
Still Lifes
yet not Still lifes
rather
they are food that we ate
we cherished
we happened to found
: tomatoes grown in the garden of an old lady from Mui Wo
Clams and broken cup we collected from the sea
cezanne looking pears
Qi Bai Shi’s favourite Pi-Pa Nespole
Chinese medicine recalling my father who was an expert
a beautiful gift - the illustrated book with prints titled Connie by my professor Alberto Manfredi
long forgotten sweets bought in Wanchai as offering to my ancestors
during Ching ming festival
then
a tribute to Uncle Ng Wui who
taught me how to make a lantern from a pomelo
as well as other interesting looking fruits : rambutan from Borneo and moondrop grapes from who knows where
days are slow
slower than usual
with the watercolour and small paint brushes
as an attempt to try and balance perhaps
the fast and unfocused life sensed in Hong Kong
and then
it is as if difficult not to use the iphone
to do drawings inspired by Hockney
so during every boat ride
some sketches are done
amazing
the idea that no colours need to be mixed
the medium gives you full range of possibilities
within seconds
what to choose
which to pick
a decision has to be made
faster than in a normal drawing with classical medium
it is a very strange tool
it tells you to make the decision right away
it is in that split of a second
somehow you make a surprised decision
and because it is a surprise
it is delightful
and delightful indeed is
when life is simply lived
slow with watercolours
fast with iPhone drawings
happy life
happy drawings
the simpler life is
the fuller we feel
