Painting lotus

 Spent morning painting the sketch of lotus i made.when im in this mood,dont feel like cooking.i go with the flow.the calligraphy is written by my old neighbour who retired as a chinese calligraphy teacher and ive known him for more than 4 decades.he write part of verses from the heart sutra although he is a devout Christian,his knowledge of ancient chinese culture is really deep as he also teaches classical literature.i really respect his self discipline to continue brush writing practice on old newspapers.now its very hard to buy rice paper and im lucky the art and design department in my college has ink wash painting enthusiasts. So i dont need to hunt high and low for rice paper scrolls.im  gonna



ration my rice paper carefully.
