The End
Part 3: Fast forward – the trees, shrubs and rocks are all painted and all that remains is the water. The water is the trickiest part of this painting. It is transparent enough to see the colorful rocks below the … Continue reading

Patience (continued) – Part 3
One thing that I avoided for several weeks was the purple “Canton Bazaar” banners. They required reverse painting and the symbols and lettering needed to match from one to another as closely as possible. Finally I came up with a … Continue reading
Patience (continued) – Part 2
I started working on the right hand side of the paper next. I stayed aware of what objects go “on top” of other objects. Meaning that I painted background details in layers, then covered edges of them with objects in the … Continue reading
Patience – Part 1
Over the past three months, I have been working on just one painting. My daughter took a great photograph of Chinatown, in San Francisco, last summer. The image shows the intersection of California Street and Sacramento Street, looking down many … Continue reading
