magnolia painting for my mother
When I was in my youth one of my hobbies was stamps collecting. I spend hours studying, arranging and rearranging my stamps. For me, each little piece of paper was like a miniature art work. Some really captured my imagination I would dream about travel to those courtiers when I grow up. Eventually, my stamp collections grow into a dozen albums I even been to a handful of those countries but many I still haven’t visit.
I got this idea last year to combine my past hobby with my passion with art. I use the stamps as my inspiration for my painting: each little painting is to compliment a stamp. Most of these are about postcard size, 4″x6″ or 5”x7”.

I found this blog post interesting because, just as Alfred here uses how he collected stamps as a child as inspiration for his art, I too use brochure collecting from my childhood as inspiration for my photography. Hope you enjoy Alfred’s art here as much as I do!
Thanks so much Frank! glad you like them.
