Or more simply put -- Learn From Nature. You will notice my treasured seal on some of my Chinese Brush Paintings. I purchased this seal a few years a<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EZQRXykdPBU/SfdwQzKj5AI/AAAAAAAAAA8/tZKHUZ4WPtw/s1600-h/learn_from_nature.jpg"></a>go since it nicely summarizes the essence of my painting experiance and love for nature. The calligraphy is beautifully carved on a bamboo soapstone (the soapstone on the left). The two other soapstones in the picture are my name seals (One of my nameseals is shown below).<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329856110011624258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EZQRXykdPBU/Sfdz5K0wK0I/AAAAAAAAACM/lItAlzMHg3s/s320/seal.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1771855932989131919-6153378438648896987?l=annesteinman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Anne's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17436897408914218906noreply@blogger.com0
