Carmen Chan’s 2019 VMF Mural titled, “Saturday kind of love,” is a play on words of the song “Sunday kind of love” released in 1947, which describes the feeling of longing for a lasting life-long love. For Carmen, her “Saturday kind of love” is art. She dedicates the mural to the many mornings spent visiting her art teacher’s studio on Saturdays to learn and practice Chinese brush painting. This painting captures the feeling of a relaxed weekend morning, carefree and joyful, like a pair of butterflies fluttering in a blooming iris garden. Magically, many butterflies did make an appearance during the painting of this mural. A print of the original painting is available for purchase in a limited run of 50 prints.
