Dedicated to “Shanghaiwu” ,this work was inspired by her beautiful art. A combination of Sumi & Computer the Ancient and the Modern. The base of this image is Suminagashi, known in the west as Sumi.( Ancient)Marbling. / It is Japanese water painting using inks,natural minerals,stylus,brushes / and I use a hand fan to move the medium. / Sometimes if there is a nice wind blowing in the window,then nature lends a hand. The willow leaves are from Japanese hand painted papers,the tree itself is from one of my early hand made marbled papers. / I made it a .jpg and played around with it a bit on the computer.(Modern) David.
The cranes fly to the west carrying the ancient art of Suminagashi (Marbling on rice paper) to the western world. / A sign of peace?
This is a combination of decorated paper in which a real (deceased ) butterfly was embeded between two layers of rice paper.Sumi mineral gold ( iron ) for texture. / Together with a bit of grass and straw.Whatever happens to be at hand. / And of course my iMac. David.
The butterfly is part of some hand made Japanese marbled papers,the butterfly is pressed between two sheets of rice paper. / And so it did find immortality.
/ My ‘First Tree’ is officially published in the coffee table book Artists of the West / For information on purchasing a signed copy of the book, go to Carrie Glenn Studios Thanks! First Tree was Featured in Lifestyles Magazine as part of an article about the Artists of the West coffee table book I am also honored to announce my painting First Tree was a part of the Rialto Towers two week art exhibit in Melbourne, Australia in of July 2007 Acrylic and pastel on illustration paper. (1995) This is truly the first tree I ever painted, the need to paint and create was something brewing so strongly inside I had to do something about it. Yet my resources were very limited, I grabbed the only paint I had any access to, a can of my father’s black spray paint, I sprayed it into the lid of the can and used the only paintbrush I owned a cheep nylon brush from a water color kit and created. I then finished my work with the only two pastels I owned brown and black. / Necessity is the mother of invention, or maybe it’s that there is more than one way to skin a cat. (Sorry cat lovers) At any rate I grew up in a home with very few luxuries but I did have a passion to create, always, I had to feed the creativity. So this is a very special piece to me and I hope to you as well. Down through the dark trees, you came and saved me...

An illustration intended to give the look and feel of chinese brush paintings. The characters mean “Love without Reason” The signature stamp below is the symbol for friends, and I used it for my signature because that is something that I hold above almost everything else, friendship.
