For a long time I have wanted to try the idea of taking at least "One PIcture a Day." I have read this discipline helps one develop photographic skills. I have also wanted to develop "sharp eyes" that can see Interesting picture possibilities in the ordinary rhythm of life. I hope some of my photos will be beautiful, others may be unusual or serve as a photo journal. Some might be humorous and I expect some will be quite boring. Hopefully some will stimulate your thoughts and reflections.

The Art of China Painting
This plate was painted by my 93 year old mother-in- law who demonstrates that artistic talent is not limited to the young. This "young in spirit" woman goes about china painting with great determination and resolve.
It is a long process of painting, firing, painting, firing, and more. Each color has to be fired in, one at a time. It all reveals artistic talent, gifted ability with paint brush, skill in choosing colors, and patient effort.
Nice going....dear mother-in-law.
