Viewers might take note of the qualities being expressed by your left hand. To paint at this level requires perseverence, and above all concentration and patience.

Thank you. The left hand also plays many important roles in writing.

The English language word,"witing" seems inadequate with something like this, although there is the expression, "written on the sands of time." That does seem to somehow suit Chinese caligraphy.

Joshua,where did you get that paper? I have some but I am almost out.I think that it is the best pratice paper especially the big squares because it is possible to use the 4 smaller squares to pratice which I find to be perfect for my hand.

There are a few Chinese bookstores in Dallas. I got different brands of bamboo paper from them. These large ones ("no brand name" just a pack of 100 sheets) are from WebAsiadeDOTcom (add dots between them) and call their service phone 972-238-8408. They have too many online orders...
