These works are all made with Sumi ink on rice paper. Some have watercolor additions. I did a number of these drawings on rice paper for the open studio in December. These pieces were fun because it was challenging to recreate a Chinese style traditional painting. I have no illusion to be an expert in this area so right now I think of this work as practice but not “serious.” I used traditional Chinese landscape, flower and koi fish images for reference. I also added my “chop” signature which is my name in Chinese. I had the stamp made in China. I stamped my name using red ink which I purchased from a Chinese art supply store in Atlanta.
