Recently I have received her <BR/>sumi-e painting "the irises" by mail because I won it as a prize in her Calico Cat Haiku contest.<BR/>I've bought several books on <BR/>sumi-e, several brushes, suzuri, ink stick, and rice paper. I am still learning bamboo brush stroke. It is hard. But I hope to improve with time.Natalia L.
