I spent a long weekend with Patrice in Santa Barbra a few years ago. We saw a craft fair along a grassy area before the beach as we walked along. There we saw an Asian artist with some very nice traditional Chinese paintings. He and I spoke, and he showed me a few things. He also enlightened me on the use of rice paper. Fast forward several years to 2022. One day while browsing the internet, I came across a YouTube video about the same type of painting, and a thought came to me, “I wonder if I can use rice paper in my art?” The answer is yes. But I had to work differently than normal. The result is the piece above, Dandelion Fluff. You can see how I created this piece on YouTube.
