Chinese Lantern plant painting


It is hard to paint for a show, but I am making an effort today to do a painting for the Puget Sound Sumi Artists group which will have a show in November in a library gallery. They have rejected my work in the past as being "too western", but I will try anyway to participate. It is kind of tricky changing from painting in oils on canvas to painting in sumi and watercolor on rice paper. The challenge teaches me to understand the many differences in these mediums.
