Hunter's Moon


AUTUMN MOON
Is there anyone
Who will not take up his brush
With this moon tonight?

~ Uejima Onitsura (1660-1738) ~

My college art teacher complained about my conventional, grade-school-ish efforts and said that I needed to stop being so simplistic. But guess what? I never stopped, because it's too much fun! Above is my simple copy from a favorite page in a little children's book that I used to enjoy with Ben and Sam.

P.S. ~ May 2020
In 4th grade, I got a "C" in art & handwriting. Why would anyone even give letter grades to 4th graders, especially in art? I still hate that teacher. I was a very artistic, neat, creative kid; and she made me search my soul about all the wrong things!
