Here I have created a semi-abstract landscape, which reminds me a bit of A.Y. Jackson's style, as well as Toni Onley. Actually, I was inspired by a Chinese artist, Wu Guanzhong who I discovered by googling chinese masters. I like the loose style that Wu employs in his work, as well as his more modern style, which I prefer over the more traditional Chinese art. As I  become more familiar with the brush and ink, I have become a bit more brave with the subject matter. Here I try to create a focal point near the centre of the painting, by using contrast between light and dark, and between lines and dots. Movement is in a circular pattern. An acquaintance of mine said that it reminded her of being in the middle of an ocean. So by accident I created a bit of ambiguity, which I like.
