Christmas in August?
Not exactly. This is my birthday present! This snowy street scene looks just the way our neighborhood did last winter. We saw this at a show of local artists and I really liked it. The artist is Kim Hun Ja, a well-known regional painter. She works with traditional materials and techniques, but applies them to contemporary landscapes. The lovely traditonal scenes of Korea are beautiful, but this is the kind of landscape I see most often, so this painting is very evocative. It is made on rice paper with traditional inks. It is a large painting - as wide as our loveseat. Kind of makes us feel cool on a hot summer day...
