Pinks, Pansies and Poppies in my grandfather’s garden sparked a love affair for me with flowers
and nature. This, and the thrill I felt in finding there pieces of painted pottery rich in feelings of long-ago worlds, inspired
in me an appreciation of art on China. The love affair continues and I often still think of my grandfather and the long sunny
hours I spent with him as I sit down to paint. A chance invitation to a china painting demonstration in 1984 awakened all
these long forgotten dreams and changed my life
On this site, I'm going to share my China Painting with you. I'll give a bit of history on the subject itself, as well
as some background on how I got involved in it. I will include some instructions as well as any tips or tricks I've acquired
through the years. And, of course, I'll include lots of pictures of the results of my painting or of me enjoying myself
doing it.
