I saw the original photo from an airline magazine many many years ago so I made note to one day paint this photo. Then came covid pandemic and I kept thinking about this photo I bookmarked somewhere (I searched for the online photo). My brain kept bugging me about the subject (covid -> hospital -> doctor -> healer) so finally I decided to paint it to get it out of my mind.

Took me 10 sessions to finish it, 1 session around 4 hours. Ayam a slow painter and malas, so I finished it in 6 months lol.

When I presented this painting to my painting teacher, she told me "Eh Billy, you should start painting difficult paintings, this one is easy", walaowehhh! In a way she indirectly told me ayam capable of painting lagi difficult painting, so okay lah.

Painting in progress:

Note: Photo was taken using a phone camera, original painting the colours are different. IMHO phone camera memang tak boleh harap to take a photo of oil painting.
