400,000 Lotus impressions
It was Cambodian New Years, a major holiday in mid April; and I was alone, with no staff, clients nor my other half. Just me and my lotus stalks. As I started my work there was only 138 impressions left to reach my 400,000 goal. Nearing half a million.
So, to mark the occasion I decided to revise one of my favorite themes: 3 river delta. I love this work, as I had already painted the subject several times. Completing todays piece came to a total of 5228 lotus impressions, making my total to date 405,090 strokes.
