Re: OT - My new hobby ...
I'm very happy with the feel of this painting. When properly mounted, it should provide some good results.
Here's hoping you will find this a cheerful painting, full of the promise of spring and warmer weather ahead!

Re: OT - My new hobby ...
I continue trying to learn more how to do Chinese Brush Painting. Learning a new technique is a lot of fun. And by emulating techniques of Chinese Brush Painting, I am learning how to be looser with my painting. Learning how to suggest the branches, without all the detail is good practice for me. I hope you enjoy this effort as much as I enjoy learning the techniques. It should be interesting to see how well this does once I am able to mount it.

Hi John....
I cannot comment on the cold weather, as I am a native Californian...But what I would like to comment on is how much I enjoy your paintings!! They, all of them bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. I especially like the Poinsettia and I also enjoyed the Sunflower!
Don't ever stop posting your work. I suspect that I am not the only one who gets so much enjoyment out of them!

Re: OT - My new hobby ...
Janice, if it brings a smile to your day then it's accomplished more than I can hope. Like most people that paint, I do it for the enjoyment of it. I also do it as occupational therapy. Due to my neurological issues, I find that doing things such as typing and painting helps me maintain my fine motor control. I think of it as the "use it or loose it" approach. But that I can share that joy and brighten the day for others is a definite and positive bonus.jwerley wrote:... Don't ever stop posting your work.

Using techniques shown by Henry Li of Blue Heron Arts in a YouTube video, I mounted the Sun 'n Bamboo painting onto a green mulberry backing paper with gold flecks in it. For a first attempt the results are pleasing. As you might remember, the original painting I posted was heavily wrinkled. It is now much smoother.
With no interest at all, other than as a happy customer, I can recommend Blue Heron Arts. If you are interested in Chinese Brush Painting (or Sumi-E), then take a look at Henry's YouTube channel and store.

Re: OT - My new hobby ...
Here we are in the midst of January as I write this. It's a cold, bleak time of the year. It's a perfect time for a harbinger of brighter days. Isn't it about time to see the harbinger of hope, the robin? Well, probably not. But we can certainly remember their cheerful appearances and allow that memory to brighten our day.

Re: OT - My new hobby ...
Janice, thank you for your kind words. Perhaps you will like today's addition, then.
On this wonderfully sunny day (as I painted this), it seemed appropriate to use the chinese brush painting to paint an Oriole! Hopefully it will help brighten your day.
