You’ve painted an exquisitely delicate and expressive oriental work here, Fiona.
And a fine story behind this beautiful painting, of the stork (immortal) of the mountain.

Astonishing that snap shots get dozens of comments, yet talented, skillful work like this, gets a few.

I agree with Colin … if there was any justice in the world you would have hundreds of comments on this .. not fair, but that’s life. A snapshot takes seconds, but how long did this masterpiece take? I’ll answer my own question by saying that however long it took you, it was well worth it :))

I’ve sent this to some of my friends … it deserves more attention.

Cheeky person. Wouldn’t it had been a cow instead of a crane who was the immortal of the mountain.

Thanks. Its a Japanese treatment of a Chinese legend. I’m a great admirer of the English Illustrator Arthur Rackham who was influenced by Japanese art.

wonderful!

Thank you very much Colin, I draw great strength from comments like yours. However I do think that there is great skill in taking a good photograph that hits a chord. It may seem easy because it is made in half a minute or less. However, it takes hours of shooting to produce that beautiful moment. All art is difficult and a hit and miss affair.

Thank you again for your kind comments and for letting others know about my work. But I don’t know that fairness has much to do with it. Nor does time.
People appreciate works through their feelings and if some people get it that’s great. You can’t be on everybody’s wavelength. That makes us all individuals.And I think that’ photographs take great skill in their own way. Thank you again for your appreciation. It gives me the will to paint some more.
