Rocky Mountain Cliff Sumie

Distant Cliff Scroll. Many of you may recognize this image from the winner at the 4th USNBE. This was the third iteration painted, that I did not put into a scroll at that time. I did it in a dark green ichimonji, light green/yellow chuumawashi (intermediate cloth) and a khaki ten/chi. It is finished with the uguisu (dark green) hanging string and ivory plastic jikusaki. It is very representative of spring. It is roughly 4 feet long by 1.5 feet wide. Painting is by Mariusz Szmerdt of Poland.
