Less is So Much More

Today I learned a little Chinese brush painting, at the Kimball-Jenkins School of Art, from teacher Linda Johanson.  I loved it!

Anyone who’s known my painting journey, especially my long-time teacher, Sylvia (who was also a student in the class!) knows that my struggle has been to not struggle: to do less, to fuss less, to overwork and overthink it less.  This method is all about that!  Get in, get out, call it good!  I look forward to learning much more.

Here are the results from the first few hours of this medium:

Bamboo:

Plum blossoms:

And a little bird!
