This original painting is sold. Available in AP and Giclee only

This is from my earliest series, “The Faces of China.” which I created when I was just 22, right after a concert tour in China in 1982. I was first chair Clarinet in the WSU Symphony Band and we were the second University ensemble to tour the mainland. I put myself through music school painting portraits and making art. I remember being struck by the symbiosis of the elderly being the caretakers of the little ones and beautifully that worked in their culture.
