Reply To: brush for cursive script, semi-cursive script

I want to point out that Amazon USA carries a number of Inkston brushes. I just purchased three of them (Inkston 0902WsWl 古法中白云 GuFa Zhong BaiYun “Traditional Small White Cloud Medium” , Inkston 0100Wl 小鶴颈 XiaoHeJing “Small Crane Neck” , and the
Inkston 0503M 貂毫长锋 Diao Hao Long Pointed Marten Brush). These are excellent brushes for cursive and semi-cursive especially. Quality is very very good: point retains sharpness throughout varying pressures, the belly holds a good amount of ink (even the marten!), and I find the brush handles are very well made and balanced. It’s also nice to have brushes imprinted with the manufacturing numbers so I can remember where I got them months from now among my dozens of brushes! Highly recommend these for anyone looking for cursive or semi-cursive capable brushes.

Reply To: "Learn of the pine from the pine.."

Yes, for me it is like a Zen circle. 🙂 I like your post which shows so much happiness and satisfaction of your life. Do you have any painting of the beautiful things out of your window to share with me?

I just returned from mountain area. When I was in mountain, I had to walk 6 to 8 hours per day. Now, back to quite city life again. This is a very strange contrast for me. 😉
