Through our windows

Through our windows
Painted diaries series
By Bernadette Kam Fu LEE

This video is meant to be a sequel of sequence ‘ after sunset’ as it is the second part of the poem ‘ ( Chinese ) Valentine’s Day ‘ by Quyang Xiu ( 1007-1072 A.D )

The video begins with a series of watercolour sketches I did through our window after we moved from Italy to Hong Kong on 9th June of 2018 and stayed in a rented residence across from my parents ‘ previous residence for couple months circa

A portrait of Antonio with skyline of Hong Kong showing the same view through the windows
which delighted my parents for over 25 years ( though my father passed away earlier )

The portrait of Antonio got modified a bit before moving to another rented apartment at the end of July in 2018, in Mui Wo of Hong Kong.

The sketches of watercolours were then published on Apple Books from 06/09/2023 , under ( the title ‘Mystery‘ , part of three volumes under my author’s name ‘ Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA ‘. ) The sketches were meant to pay homage to my parents.

The second green painting portraits of my parents , Antonio and I were painted January 2026, to recall our once residence of my parents, which is across from the Hotel we stayed in the summer of 2018.
