Congrats to all the winners and participants. Dan, a well qualified judge for another week of healthy and inspiring competition. I am thinking of taking up oriental painting, your pic was just too beautiful.

Thanks again to all. I thought that the montage was the closest thing to us staging an "Art show"!
For those that are interested in Chinese Brush Painting/Oriental painting, here is a link to Oriental Art Supply in LA, CA. http://www.orientalartsupply.com/home.cfm This is a good source for supplies, books and videos/dvds. The books and videos are a good start but try to find a good Chinese Brush Painting instructor, as this will be the best way to learn.
