“Six Tulips”
8 ½ x 11
Chinese brush painting on acid-free watercolor paper

By C Shore

This painting was inspired by Ms Shore’s passion for tulips, her favorite flower.
She loves the play between the positive and negative shapes in this piece. 
Chinese Brush painting is the artistic dance of the fingers and hands. Each stroke
commands precise movement with a particular rhythm. Ms Shore studies techniques
of painting, and drawing at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, at the
University of California Los Angeles, at international workshops, and with Nan Rae Parker
at her Pasadena Studio. Ms Shore is a Kaiser Permanente member. She has been an
educator in the Los Angeles Unified School District, employing all forms of art within the
classroom. She found that being bilingual and using art throughout the curriculum were
successful tools to teach subject matter to limited English proficient
students. Ms Shore continues to advance her education in art and language.
