Today I watched the opening seremony of the Olympic games in Beijing. I therefore brought out my ink stone and ink stick and my chinese brushes as well as rice paper. It has been a while since I used these technique so I definately need to practice a bit before my brush work is as I would like it.

Today is the Ninth day of the August challenge

Tribute To a Beautiful Earth
Celebrating and Conserving Our Planet with DailyPainters.com

Insects are both a pest as well as something that all of nature depends on. I therefore find it a very suitable subject matter for this challenge.
