"HANDLES" are the subject of the Thursday Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge


well, it's a bit of a stretch, but I am currently trying to get a 'handle' on the painting technique called sumié

*************************************************
ADDENDUM
I have to laugh 'cuz this wasn't meant to be anything in particular . . . like an abstract, altho it might just make a good one . . .
all it is, really, is a piece of paper where I am supposed to be practicing a simple sumié stroke (Called the "BONE STROKE" see how it looks like a bone??)
and I got bored and did a bug in the middle of everything . .
I have no idea WHAT kind of bug . . and that's why I need to get a handle on sumié =)

the color version



and professional stuff
