Description Traditional Chinese Watercolor on 5 by 7 inch Bristolboard. Executed with traditional Chinese brushes. All ink was fresh ground in tiny tiny batches so that it was 'live' and not 'flat' color. There are a variety of brush stroke types used in this particular piece.I was extremely pleased with this until I placed my chop on the paper to sign the painting. To my horror, it just refused to impress properly, so you can't READ that the kanji says 'Amehana' unless you're expecting to see the characters Ame and Hana.The scan did not do the image justice no matter how much I fiddled with the settings. The ink shades were just too delicate it seems. If you like my work, please be aware that I am more than happy to make custom cards, and some of the originals of my pieces are available for sale. I might be available this summer at some events, and if so I will certainly post which ones I'll be at.This piece was done on request of my daughter, 'RyukoStarDragon,' who missed my painting and asked specifically for a scenery piece.

Artist Statement I am mostly a self taught artist, my only formal training being one year in High School when Drama and Art class was combined. My specialty is fantasy art.

I also write poetry and fantasy novels, my current project being the Dragon Shaman Chronicles, in which I am writing the second book now.
