While the left book was by special order from me, the right one was picked by Wesley, and I like it better than the one I originally asked for. What a surprise!
And here I am, putting the gift to work. Just kidding, this pic was taken earlier, but the joy would be the same as I would be drawing hours and hours of painting pleasure from the two books. The radiance that I emit when I draw.
Here are today's fare then: landscape paintings.I just cannot resist sharing this picture of water lily taken at a hill resort at Hualien, courtesy of Mary and Wesley, who were kind enough to share their photo album on their recent trip to Taiwan. I could see that they really had a good time.
