Yes Chinese culture is so old communism or not...I think the painting is more of a dicipline i'm interested in trying it to get my eye back in...painted last night what a mess...Chinese Brush Work Swift with Whisteria what I ended up with was a broody hen with a transplanted swifts head got carried away and forgot the word brushstrokes...i'm putting it in my gallery as an example of what happens when one paints when one dosn't feel like it...I forgot to tell you I bent over the other day and got all the diamonds...I wish

Thanks patsy...........i've been hard at work these past few days on another celtic design.........much inspired by the bird.......will post it shortly......... Love chinese culture ...........been looking through some books on there painting tech.....brought some brushes......had a slight flicker with them........made such an amazing mess........but hey was fun..... Am feeling much better thanks........although it has been hard to pick myself back up.......two losses in one year..took it out of me.......thanks so much for your kind comments.........

I just love it the way it is...it looks so like chinese Brush work which I love but it's your bird...why not put it in your gallery and do another for a celtic design...I think it's great to be able to make something so lovely with minimal marks...but you must do as you wish...just so glad that you are sounding so much better

thanks,patsy and phil..........i set myself a task to draw a bird with as little marks as possible..........am thinking of turning it into a celtic design........what do you think.......????
