Again, nice work, Chappy. While both are lovely, I especially like your technique on the second pic. Very "woodblock print" looking, and interesting comp.

Beautiful work, Chappy. Pen/ink and CP are my favorite media to work with, along with soft pastels. I just might try working one up of my new Banyan. :cool:

Lovely, informative blog, Brian. BTW, I've been to Nanzenji, so it was so nice to see the "hidden" areas behind it shown in the blog. Thanks so much.

Yes, she's quite a beauty indeed! Looks stunning In her new digs. Good job!
