masterpiece of ancient architecture.
As we strolled through the grounds we enjoyed watching the Chinese people dance. It was remarkable how the older people participated in what looked like storytelling folk dancing. The dancing and the music were infectious.
We came home and all of the artists hosted our Open Studio Exhbition - I put up 6 of the 10 pieces I completed
It was a good turn out, below the artists are preparing. It rained on and off, we were in and outside
Today will be a good time to pack up my work and art supplies. We have another cocktail party at the director's tomorrow night and after that an art opening at the Today Museum, tour of the Forbidden City on Wednesday morning by a Chinese 80 year old retired professor- Next few days experiencing the last bits of Beijing then high speed train to Shanghai!
I can't wait to see your artwork up close!!!! It looks like you have had an amazing trip with so many wonderful experiences. I have to say you look real Hot in your art gallery attire. I'm so proud of you. Great job. You look so happy. I love it. I have been putting together a slide show for my moms 90th birthday party in July and its been a trip finding lots of old photos from my great grandparents. Also working on adding sewing and fabrics to my art journals. It really is a bit pitiful! My veggies are doing good and hopefully we will have some sun for my tomatoes. Sending you lots of love and light. Your pal,

Your work looks as though it is reflecting your journey...dense and full of new images...very interesting and exciting! I want to look at it up close and personal. I love to watch you opening up and developing! I had a dream this morning that corresponded to our days as students at UCB.....
ReplyDeleteLove to you both, and safe journeys home.

More beautiful pictures! Susan you look absolutely radiant! I look forward to seeing your works in person when you return and of course hearing more stories about your travels.
ReplyDeleteThings here are good...I have been painting in between many graduation celebrations. I am trying to get a couple more pieces done for the Halberg but as usual summer is shaping up to be quite busy!
Love to Mike and have a wonderful journey to Shanghai. I am sure you will have lots more to explore in your art in the future as you experience more of the rich and colorful culture in China,
Cheers my friend,
