Year of the Goat

Hi all readers of jamesphuadehorse.com, Happy Chinese New Year.

I wish everyone have a good time during the Year of the Goat.

I was commissioned by Association of British Women in Malaysia (ABWM) to do a goat painting for its magazine in conjunction of the Year of the Goat as well as its ruby anniversary year.

Here I take this opportunity to send my New Year greeting by posting this artwork.

ABWM Chairman, Melanie Bolland.

Chairman of ABWM, Melanie Bolland wrote,

“Our front cover image was designed by the renowned master of horse painting, James Phua. James has exclusively and very kind re-created the front cover of the February 1991 ABWM magazine with an added touch to also celebrate the start of the year of goat. We thank you James for your continued support of the ABWM and for a beautiful front cover picture to start our ruby anniversary year.”

Thank you for your comment, Melanie.

Best Regards,

James Phua
