The Art of Contemplation....

At the art store, I've been coveting this painting set for months. I finally bought it a few weeks ago, and I finger it and fondle it every few days. But I've been afraid to open it up and really sit down and use it.

It's called Sumi E. The art of Japanese monochromatic ink painting. It's the pictoral equivalent of their brush calligraphy. Check it out

Memorial Day weekend seems like as good a time as any, to sit out on my balcony and contemplate the universe whilst grinding ink. I look forward to the solitude and learning something new. Of course, I have no books to instruct. This is going to be soooo cool. Riiight.
