Last year I wanted to paint using the traditional Chinese painting style, and the background of this photo came up. I had a lot of fun with Chinese brushes and sumi ink! My daughter Virginia shot a photo in which I stand one leg, my mom saw it and she wanted to have a larger print. So I combined it with the background, trying to blend it in and this is the result! I hope she likes it, it’s my Christmas gift for her! In this artwork I was able to combine my two major passions, panting and Tai Chi!
