Hi Roybird and Janet,
Thank you for your kind comments. Xu'an paper is the traditional "rice" paper used in Chinese art. Yes I do the calligraphy both Chinese and Japanese. This particular painting has a Japanese Haiku (poem) which translated says "silence - the sound of a bird walking on fallen leaves" my idea was that the girl looks up as she hears this slight sound breaking the silence. I also paint on silk and am posting a foto for you to see. I am interested in oriental culture, I am a member of the Chinese Brush Painting Society, I practise Tai Chi, I have around 40 bonsais, I grow orchids and enjoy Ikebana, and enjoy gardening very much especially trying to grow more exotic plants/trees.
