I am reminded of the subtle shading of Sumi paintings. As you may have surmised, I am a compulsive doodler. When Daughter left for study and work in Chicago, she gave a gift of a Sumi painting kit --brushes and ink-block-- which has been much used in my journals. I hope you post more artwork. It surely helps during this time of international lock-down.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-53661826030405581192020-07-08T01:13:14.523+01:002020-07-08T01:13:14.523+01:00I free any wasp silly enough to fly indoors.
