Water lilies

As far as I am able to, I want to just hold a brush in my hand and paint. I read somewhere that a Chinese painting is not about producing something that matches the real thing. It is about producing a painting that has good 'Chi' and that the act of painting is really like meditation. I don't think I have managed to project the right kind of 'chi' in this particular effort but I agree totally that painting is a meditative process, and a great one at that.
