plum

qing

This is a calligraphy practice from Tuesday night's class. Reading top to bottom, right to left:
qing     lao     i  kuai  r 
green   old      together    =    Young and Old Together

Sandi and I also practiced some plum blossom painting.  The plum is a symbol of hope and endurance, blooming as it does so early--even in the snow--and blooming often on branches that are very old.

Sandi's granddaughter Alexis practiced with us.  Such a young, talented calligrapher in our midst.
