A Look Backward

Okay, before I go on to what I'm working on in the present or planning for the future, let's take a step back to what I did in the past. Below are two of my early pieces which my mom proudly had professionally framed.



The one on the left is a watercolor I did in high school, just for the fun of it. Mom liked it because she said, "The more you look at it, the more odd things you notice."

The one on the right was done in colored pencil outlined with a Chinese ink brush. It was a project for a calligraphy class I took at Ohio State back in the 70's. I was illustrating a scene from a Chinese fairy tale called, "The Maiden of Yueh". My professor, Dr. Eugene Ching, expressed his approval by putting his own seal on it (that's the red oval on the lower left-hand side of the drawing).

Here's a close-up from the first painting:



More recent work to come later this week.
