#10 of 30 "Monkey Hill Tree"

"Monkey Hill Tree" - Southern Taiwan
- Ink and Ballpoint Pen - 9.9x6.9"/250x176mm

We'd been to this viewing place before, so rather than go inside and watch the wild monkeys come down and steal treats, I decided to sit in the parking lot and try to paint the light. I found this wonderful tree standing out in the sunlight, just up the hill. The monkeys called out from the woods as I painted, but none of them seemed interested in the artwork or the colorful blocks of ink. As people came out of the viewing area, they gathered around to watch me as I tried to finish before we had to go. (I guess I was a good encore to the monkey show! I got a standing ovation when I was done!)
