NEW WORKS First in the Gold Series and using a new medium of acrylics, I missed the freedom of Chinese Brush Painting where what you paint is what you get - no going over strokes. Here you have to keep going over them to get results. It was a learning experience.	DANCE SERIES This new series emerged from the synthesis of my dancer’s background with the art form of dancing with the brush on rice paper. Being a prolific artist, led to the unique presentation of mounting the rice paper on painted canvas with 3-D embellishments.	FLOWERS The Chinese tradition of floral painting is idealized realism. One strives to capture the essence of the subject(s)though careful observance and knowledge of the sujbect so that one is free to express their spirit nature when painting. Currently working

FUR AND FEATHERS The Horse and Water Buffalo are the two most popular animal subjects in Chinese Brush Painting. As in all Chinese Brush Painting - one strives to capture the spirit of the animal along with its unique features and formation.	FISH In Chinese Brush Painting fish should be painted swimming and darting with vitality. In creating this gallery, I discovered that I have One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish but no Blue Fish. Guess I better get busy Dr. Seuss!	INK WORKS The Chinese have a saying "There are five colors in ink". The art of loading the brush with water and ink to achieve the desired results requires lengthy study and experimentation yet the monochromatic rewards are endless.

TREES AND LANDSCAPES Pink Dance was the inspiration for the Dance Series when at an Art Fair a woman commented that she would like this if only it were in yellow!
