The Sword and the Flute

Water Color Pencil on Paper: The Sword and the Flute


While listening to Shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) tunes, images came rushing into my mind. The rising sun on a valley, (or is it the setting sun?), the trees, the river, the swordsman with his katanas on his left while his right hand ready to draw one if needed; and the Sakuhachi (flute) player--playing his tune as he walk on a road by the river.

So I grabbed my sketch pad and water color pencils and brush, then I started drawing the scene that was then fixed in my imagination like a photograph. For each of the following days, I spend sometime, adding details on the image.
