Day 16 -#ancientgarden Eghhhh I was looking forward to this prompt so much but this was hard. To be honest I think if I had the luxury of not catching up with daily deadlines, I'm not sure if it would have come out any better. Plants are my Waterloo. Also space and depth. And color. That being said, I think if I gave it a second attempt I am a little more confident in tying to paint ferns/fiddleheads, so this was maybe a good insight to practice. . . . #whynoctober #whynoctober2018 #inktober #inktober2018 #ferns #fiddleheads #prehistoricplants #horror #horrorart #watercolor #illustration #painting #portrait #artistsoninstagram #artist #art #artchallenge #newenglandartist #bostonartist #bostonart #femaleartist #dorywhynot https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFzKIRhonq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kc7g50cx4fbz

Sharing my photography collection of Suzhou's classical gardens: A Hundred Images and Stories of Ancient Gardens #chinesegarden #ancientgarden #landscape #spacedesign Gardens are not merely beautiful landscapes; they embody profound wisdom. Thus, my photography is not just about capturing images—it is an elevation of the spirit and intellect. I plan to publish a photography collection of Suzhou's classical gardens, writing annotations for one hundred selected works. Though each description is brief—the entire manuscript totals just over ten thousand words—the writing consumed half a year of my heart and soul. During that period, I slept only four hours a night due to excessive contemplation. These texts were completed over a decade ago, yet the collection remains unpublished. My unwavering commitment to quality is the reason—the publisher must secure the finest book design. While I possess the skills and confidence to handle everything from cover to interior layout myself, I firmly believe only a master book designer can truly elevate this garden photography collection.
