Hi, with the hacker attack, I completely forgot to send photos to go with the travel notes I wrote for the newsletter. Here are some photos from my last visit to China, to give an idea of where I was. Also a few of my oil paintings. They are just photos of the paintings, not very good. And I make no claim to do real art, I'm just a self-taught amateur. Here is the link.

These really are some of the best architectural photos out of China I have seen for a long time. You deserve hearty congratulations. Am I to understand there is some commentary or photo story for publication in the newsletter?

The commentary already got published, in the last newsletter, a few sort of notes and impressions of the places in these photos, and I just didn't get round to sending the photos I thought should go with the story, and then there was the hacker attack and I forgot about the newsletter until it was too late, but I thought I'd post some photos anyway, so that if you read the newsletter, you can picture a bit what sort of places I went to. I'm a big fan of photographing streets and buildings (I use the photos for painting later). I will go to China again soon, and maybe will find more good places. Ah, and it will be warm this time.These really are some of the best architectural photos out of China I have seen for a long time. You deserve hearty congratulations.

Thanks to everyone for your comments.

I would be too lazy to take my painting stuff with me anywhere. The most I ever do is pencil sketch somewhere. I paint in my kitchen, which is very sunny, good light. I use my photos as a base, though I change things, (take out cars, advertising, stuff like that).Thanks Yizheng. I like you paintings.
