Love that brocade fabric. Sarah is cut down to size!
I am loving this-love the warm colors.
Such rich patterns and textures, perfect for this subject. Love it!
Is this the "so much red" spread you were talking about? Well, I think you found a way to tone it down, in a wonderful way I love this complex background! Amazing. This is one of my favorites of yours!!!
Hi Brian. No, this is not the one yet.
Amazing John!!!!!!!
Hi John,
I just found this beautiful piece, and how lovely that my book should inspire you to create it!
I plan to be in Seattle again this fall with another book - this one my biography of Pauline Benton, the American-born master of Chinese shadow theatre. I'll send you guys info about it as soon as dates firm up.
All best - Grant
