Wonderful China

Thank you China for showing me some of your amazing places! I wish I
could stay longer, but other places are calling me. My reservoirs of
inspiration are full to overflowing and I must return home to paint
some of ideas you have given me!

Thank you to China's watercolor artists and the watercolor societies
and sponsors that provided me this great opportunity! I can hardly
wait to come back and do more!

Thank you to all the great new friends I made, who helped me get
about, and made me feel welcome and safe! I look forward to any
opportunity to meet again!

Traveling is never easy, but always so rewarding. It is the only way
to truly understand other peoples and places. I have been blessed for
this experience and am heading home a richer man for having made this
journey.

My only regret is that I could not bring my family along with me. I've
felt a hollow space inside without them.
Seeing beautiful things without my best friend makes them tougher to
fully appreciate. Next time I won't be coming alone. There is too much
beauty here to experience by myself.

With this grand adventure stirring in my head and a loving family
waiting for me at home, I truly am a lucky man!
