/ Part of the Series of Oriental Brush Paintings... Ink and Watercolour on Rice Paper. The northern mountain is blanked in cloud; / for one who hides away, it’s pleasing — perfect. So that we could visit each other, I’ve tried to climb high; / my heart follows along, like a wild goose, to exhaustion. I worry because of the thin dusk that comes up, / but the clear autumn prevails and you can feel it. It’s the hour to see village people returning; / they walk on the sand, rest at the ferry landing. At the edge of the sky, the trees look like grass; / Near the river bank is an islet shaped like the moon. How welcome if you met me with some wine! / We’d share, intoxicated together through the autumn festival. Meng Haoran The years that pass / Have brought with them / White hair. / Autumn has come / And the trees stand / Bare and cold. Perplexed, / I ask the yellow leavers: / “Are you too, sad? / What griefs have you / That you / Are sere and old? Lu Lun

Taken at Fagan Park, on the outskirts of Sydney (Australia), mid May 08 on a misty morning. Perhaps because it is usually in shade, I’ve found over the years it is not an easy object to photograph successfully – however I am quite pleased with this one … / Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM / / / / / ! /

On a visit to the Jardin Botanique in Montreal I was captivated by the Chinese Garden. Various ponds and streams had huge floating islands of lily pads. But it was not until I rested that I discovered these two lily pads and the reflections, just over the side of the bench I was sitting on. Taken in macro mode. “Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences, but rather it is a tapestry of acts that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.” -from the movie Serendipity Featured in the Abstracts From Nature group July 2008.

/ The second in a Series of Oriental Work....I hope you’re enjoying this change of pace….Daocheng in the mountains of China… Ink and Gouache on Rice Paper…. Asleep in spring I did not heed the dawn / Till the birds broke out singing everywhere. / Last night, in the clamour of wind and rain, / How many flowers have fallen / do you suppose?...Meng Haroan

/ The first in a Series of Oriental Paintings….mean’t to soothe the soul and rest the heart...Daocheng in the mountains of China… Ink and Watercolour on Rice Paper Foamy tides, like snow-drifts, lingering; / A battalion of plum trees silently blooming; / A bottle of wine / And a fishing line; / Who in this world is my equal? The oar rips apart the spring water / On which the leaf-like boat is floating. / A tiny hook dangles / At the end of a silk cord. The islet is covered with blossoms / And my jug is full of wine. / Upon these thousand acres of waves there is freedom...Li Yu Ci /

Another shot of the same Japanese maple tree as in Eden I at the Portland Oregon Japanese Gardens, except this one was shot exactly one week after. It is amazing how fast seasons can change :) As is.

/ The third in the Series of Oriental Paintings.....set in the Mountains of China… It’s the end of the day, and the catch has been good….I’m almost home….I stop to rest near the temple…the sound of the bell echoes across the water. Janis Ink and Watercolour on Rice Paper. Lofting sail a thousand miles / I could not find a famous mountain. / I moor my boat outside Hsuan-yang / to gaze at last at Hsiang-lu peak. / Once I read the master monk. / He walked outside this world of dust. / Now his Tung-lin hut lies near; / through evening sun I hear a bell. Meng Haoran

I wished my 350D had see-through capability. Now the mountains that beseige this spectacular city make this shot look like it’s in a bowl. It costed us HKD15 to get on the platform to get this view. Whatever happened to the free stuff in this world nowadays? / - – - / Taken at the Peak, Hong Kong. It felt like 5C up there, I swear. / / MORE WORKS FROM MY PORTFOLIO /

Once again, taken in the big park after some heavy rain greened up the foilage. This lily pond is a constant source of inspiration … never fails to remind me of my favourite artist (add a bench, and it is idyllic!!!).

My dog River posing for a portrait in the snow. She has ALWAYS liked her picture being taken since she barely opened her eyes at two weeks of age. Her litter mates ran around when the camera aimed at them but she stood in attention every time a photo opportunity showed up! :) I’m sure she’d be glad that I donate the proceed of the sale of her photos to Nature Canada as she loves woods and her deer friends as much as I do! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.

I’m sure you have noticed the change of pace in my art work in the last few days…I have added some Oriental work in ink on paper….some peaceful landscapes in the typical Chinese style of free brush painting in black ink, with touches of colour, where I felt it was needed. Chinese painting is part of a 3000 year old culture, and in experimenting with these works, I had to throw out what I know about western style painting, and start to think about painting in a more linear way. These are absolutely my first paintings in this style. I decided I wanted to paint as much as I could in the traditional way, and so I learned to grind my own ink, had stamps carved with my name in Chinese and set to work. It was hard at first to come to terms with the idea that once you put the brush to paper, that was it…no drawing first, no erasing or changing the mark in any way. However, I was thrilled to be able to stop thinking about western style perspective, and get on with mountains and rocks which have always been my favourite subject matter. Once I had mastered the techniques, the whole experience was very enjoyable, and from time to time I return to it, as a break from my usual style of work….it is a real feeling of freedom from western style restrictions in landscape painting, and I love that. It is as much about what you decide to include as what you decide to omit. If you are interested in learning more about this fascinating art I can continue to add to this journal….there are a few basic techniques, you will need to know before you start creating your own works of art…..how to grind ink [not really necessary], but fun. What materials to use, how to paint in the Chinese way etc…additionally, you may just want to learn how to use inks on rice paper in order to create work that’s not necessarily in the Chinese style.. However I will only continue if there is sufficient interest….by clicking on the painting below, you will be linked to my website, and illustrations of tools you will need.

/ “Tide Pool” is part of the Series of Oriental Paintings.... This water is my only solace, now that I’m so far away from home…it reminds me of the pool where we used to play as children…Oh moon speak to me and tell me why my heart breaks...Janis Ink on Rice Paper… Where tender grasses rim the stream / And deep boughs twill with mango-birds, / On the spring flood of last night`s rain / The freey-boat moves as though someone were poling.....Wei Yingwu Since I married the merchant of Qutang / He has failed each day to keep his word…. / Had I thought how regular the tide is, / I might rather have chosen a river boy....Li Yi

Chinese Brush Painting- How To Part 2-Tools of the Trade

As I start to write this entry, for some reason, the sound of “We are the Champions” by Queen is running around in my head…why? I have no idea. Unless it means that all RedBubblers are champions? So “my friends” I write on regardless of the “earworms” To paint in the Chinese way, you will need the “Four Treasures” paper [zhi], brushes [bi], inksticks [mo] and ink stones [yan]....I am not Chinese, so I hope I got the spelling right. You can also use bottled permanent ink, but I have a real fondness for the traditional ink stick, [more about ink later] plus it is much blacker, and has the authentic look of an Oriental painting. I must stress at this point, that the materials are extremely inexpensive, [read cheap] and thank goodness, as no other brushes will work….put away the watercolour brushes and buy only Chinese brushes…Japanese brushes will not work either. / The brushes, paper and ink will cost just a few dollars, especially if you go to a Chinese art supply shop….failing that, your regular art supply shop should stock them as well. A word or two about paper, which though it’s commonly called “rice paper”, is mostly made from bamboo pulp…you can get it with some sizing, which helps to control the ink, but why not throw caution to the winds and buy it unsized, which is what I used in all my paintings. / It may be a little frustrating to use at first, but you might discover as I did, that loss of control of paint can be a good thing, leading to hitherto unimagined heights of creativity. The brush is of paramount importance…everything depends on it….some of those available today were the same ones used in the Ming Dynasty [1368-1664] / Get three….purists will say you need only one….just don’t tell them what I said….. a soft goat or sheep hair, usually white, for broad washes, a harder brush, dark brown, for you got it, those all important calligraphy lines, and maybe a third with a blend of both kind of hairs. / I personally went mad and bought a whole bunch as I was intoxicated with the prices and thought somebody had made a dreadful mistake, and put the wrong numbers on. / I am so used to spending several hundred dollars on only one watercolour brush, that a brush for just a few dollars seemed unbelievable… Now I can hear you saying “goat”? Just the hair folks..just the hair….nobody died. / Remember this is traditional Chinese brush painting, and a synthetic brush cannot produce the same results….only natural fibers can provide the resilience and hold liquids long enough for the long and varied strokes that are so essential to the genre….. also the firm brushes will spring back easily and make the thinnest of lines, and at those prices you can afford to get the very best the shop has to offer. Look after your brushes…they will come with glue on the bristles, and after you’ve washed that off, do not recap…always wash them after use and do not let them stand in water…. Clicking on the painting below will lead you to my website and pictures of the tools you will require to try this fascinating art. The Tide Pool by Janis Zroback :

Back in the deep summer, when all were in blossom and the leaves were rich in color and taste, the doe had plenty of time to experience the “other things” in life than just search for food. One day she decided to figure out what creature it was that I carried around with me and pushed at the top of the “head” from time to time to make a sound. She came so close to the lens that I had to quickly change to a wide-angle one in order to take this photo. Right after that instant, she took another step further to “pat” my “pet” with her tongue! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
