Well, I had a lovely break over Christmas and New Year - so, before I forget: happy new year everyone!
A wonderful gift I received was an assortment of Japanese paper and other stationery items from a good friend who'd just returned from a trip to Japan. Looking through the fascinating package yesterday evening, considering how I could perhaps use some in my art, my thoughts turned to oriental art generally, and to an introduction to Chinese painting I attended a couple of years ago where I produced this simple rendering of bamboo:

.... and my mind then drifted to the plant life, including bamboo, which so fascinated me in Australia this year.

| Bamboo - watercolour of bamboo in Australia |

| Loved the shapes of plants in Australia |

| Strong shapes of plants in Australia |
Will anything come of these musings? Hard to say, but maybe in time.
