Criminey, more art.

Okay, so after months of sketching, looking for inspiration, and some desultory roughing out in pencil I finally put some paint on the dang canvas.  Yes, it's just slapping on some background but it's the principal of the thing.  The long white bits on the left will eventually be bamboo--haven't decided about any leafy bits yet--and the blank bit on the right will have my favorite Chinese chengyu phrase in gold.  The orange origami paper is just there to help with visualization, but I kind of like they way it looks anyway.
