My Road
Above a new wine bar being built below. This ceiling I was painting. The ceiling my canvas. A sky & clouds. On a homemade ladder. Surrounded by Taiwanese craftsmen.
The Lady I was painting for a grad of St. Andrews in Scotland. Her fathers' Lions Club International plaque visible in the home's lobby. Right after signing my sky/mural I left. Boarding a train south from Chungwa.
