Ink Pool and Orchid (Lan)

After a two-week hiatus, we resumed our Arts class with the return of Mrs. Fan today. While at San Jose, Mrs. Fan found time to drop by a chinese stationery store and bought for me a nice dark maroon-colored ink plate, which has a more specfiic name translated as an ink pool because of its circular shape. Its surface texture is the smoothest I have ever seen. And one other aspect that I am most happy about is that its cover bears the Chinese zodiac sign of the horse. That is entirely coincidental but it would be hubby's zodiac sign too.

The newly acquired ink pool surrounded by other paraphernalia of Chinese brush painting.

And the output of the day.

A most beautiful flower to go along with the magnificent ink pool!

What a collection of paint stuff you are growing! Most excellent. I love how much depth the flower has in this painting.
