Feng Shui
Watercolour and gouache

This was going to be the outing where I completed a painting
that included the other people in our group… but they just didn’t line up
properly with the obligatory mountain background and the grave markers I wanted
to include in my picture.
What did line up was the cemetery itself, the site
having been chosen for its excellent Feng Shui. It is flanked by the
Azure Dragon, Qinglong, to the east and by the White Tiger, Baihu,
on the west, and embraced by the Living Water, Shengshui, of Juan de
Fuca Strait and Gonzales Bay, Those who are buried here command a Grand Hall, Mingtang,
in front and face a distant Worshiping Mountain Range, Chaoshan, the Olympics.
