THE SIMPLICITY OF FUN

Brush and ink have given me sweet sessions of peace this week. I must remember to keep these supplies out and ready at all times.

ANOTHER CROW DAY


The parade of shinny clever crows are still catching my eye. Yesterday I sat outside with Sumi ink, brush and paper and captured gestures much like being in the ballet studios . What fun. Especially after having read Kazuaki Tanahashi who wrote Brush Mind and I quote: "The quality of the line is what matters most-how deep, strong, or honest it is. It doesn't matter how good or unusual it looks".
