I have been off the radar for several weeks. My kid is getting older and seems to need more attention. Also, he has been sick for several weeks. Add to that the desire to be the best teacher I can be, and spending every free minute adding to my lesson plans, and all of a sudden it’s been a month and a half since I did any chinese brush painting or any posting to this blog. It is unfortunate, because I had hoped to make a few dollars to cover my web hosting. I just renewed my domain, so at least I have more time to try to make this work.
I was working on the amaryllis, but without making a successful one, I started the morning glory. Boredom, maybe. Could be why I stepped away from it for so long. So I still need to scan them and post my attempts. However, not enough time at the moment. I am noticing that the book implies that each leaf should be one stroke, but if you look carefully at the paintings in the book, they are often more than one stroke. So I am trying to loosen up a little. I also want to try viewing some online videos.
Okay, crying baby awaits.
