The camellia man.....

Shungo, the man who loves camellias and who draws, prints and paints them so well has sent me this beauty.  It is a hand coloured print from a woodblock I think, very strong and beautiful.

No words on this but a lot of 'personality'. Thanks Shungo.

A masterful mash.

Shungo sent one of his quickly executed masterpieces, the colours are wonderful and are redolent of Autumn. The writing on the back is a belated birthday wish. The subject is an overripe bitter melon or gourd which has the brightly coloured seeds spilling out, having had another birthday I feel a bit squashed like the gourd but not so colourful!
