Orchids, Chinese Brush Painting

Orchids, Chinese Brush Painting, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. I've been reading about Chinese brush painting and making various attempts at it. I can see why Zen brush painting is good for Zen practitioners; it really takes a lot of attention and I am NOT very good at it. The middle one was done on newsprint, which is recommended for beginner to practice on. But they don't come out as nicely.

My lettering leaves a lot to be desired, too. It is supposed to say, "return to serenity."

I think you have a flair for this!
I don't have the patience, I can't stop myself...I try to add too much. You should keep working at this!!
