loaded with acrylic paint. The quick motion was what I was after.
I began my love for art by watching my mother paint in oils and pastels. I must have caught the bug because I have enjoyed fifty years of drawing, painting and photography, urged on and instructed by professors, a botanist, a master of Chinese brush painting and calligraphy, water colorists and lately, mixed media devotees. After a course in cubism in 1973 I began to explore pen and ink geometric art. Each stroke was unplanned but exact, the designs becoming more elaborate and more fun to execute. First circles, then onward to straight lines, then organic and architectural constructions. Thirty years later I still dance out on the white space of a simple sheet of paper to weave new drawings.

I'm delighted to show off my Song Bird in Awesome Asia. It's an example of what I learned from studying Chinese brush painting, loading the brush with color and performing (not painting) in one stroke...the entire image. Well, several strokes....but with swift intention. Thanks, Ian for all of your support for my art. It's much appreciated!
