Extraordinary work, Eva. I lived in Taipei for about three years, and by accident discovered (because I could see it from the light-rail and motorscooter on my way down into the city) the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, where I learned that it was not true that portraiture and oil paints were rare in Asian art. One of my all-time favorite pieces hangs in that Museum (of a fisherman, on his boat, on a bright sunny day at harbor.) I happily returned to the Museum many times, as I also took classes in more traditional Chinese watercolor methods. Somehow, my instructor was never quite satisfied with my bamboo stalks and leaves or my plum blossoms, but I had lots of fun trying.
