   "Beside the Singing River"

This original painting is in a Private Collection.

"Beside the Singing River" was inspired by a place so beautiful that I was inspired to write a poem.

The place was so remote that the only sounds I could hear were the birds and the singing of the river.

A few years ago, while traveling in the same area, I attempted to find it again, but was unable to do so.

I used watercolor to create this painting. Before I began to paint, I collaged several different kinds of rice papers and mulberry paper onto my watercolor paper. The wonderful textures you see in the painting come from these papers.
