This piece has a few technical problems, I know (much as I love watercolor, I do wish it was more lenient towards mistakes!). However, on the whole I'm pleased with the final product and the departure from my regular subject matter. Xian-He is the Chinese word for the Japanese crane, which was believed to be a purveyor of wisdom, as opposed to the cranes which brought immortality and peace (called tian-he). Cranes were also thought to transport Taoist sages between heaven and earth. If anyone knows more about this mythology or would like to correct my research, I'd appreciate it.

I'm my own worst critic:) As for seeing it bigger, that's life size pretty much (she's only 8 1/2 x 11 1/2"). Thank you for the compliment and the favorite!:)
