Chinese Fine Art Association: East Meets West
Through thousands of years of development, ink painting derived its unique character from oriental art. It does not mimic or imitate nature, but is a process of observation, meditation and expression. The artist cultivates and contemplates with vitality and passion until the object and subject become inseparable and the images flow out as a wholesome one. It is the art of using strokes of a brush or lines to capture object or scenery. This technique was developed in 4000 B.C. Three painting styles are known in China throughout the dynasties.
The elaborate style began in the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). It uses fine lines, carefully drawn elements and multiple layers of color to create subtly shaded detailed paintings on rice paper and cicada paper with Chinese pigments. The spontaneous style uses free flowing application of pigment or ink on paper to attain the feel of the subject rather than showing lifelike details. The landscape style of the Song Dynasty (960-1279AD) combines elements of both above styles to show misty mountains, rocky cliff, pines, lakes and waterfalls.

Chinese Fine Art Association (CFAA) is a non-profit organization located in Madison. It was established in 1999. The main focus of the Association is to provide an opportunity for members to share their interest in Chinese brush painting and to exhibit their art at local galleries, museum and many other facilities. Some of the members have participated in Japan’s Annual International Sumi-e contest and have received prestigious awards for scroll art. Please visit their website at www.cfaamadison.com for more information and to view art images.
After many years of trying, Mr. Frank Smith was successful in obtaining a $10,000 grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation for building a new Library.
A location to build on was needed, some were offered but the price was too high. Mr. Stafford saved the day when he offered lots 1&2 of block #17 for the small sum of $600. They were easily worth $2000. The $600 was raised in one day by George Cook, who went around asking for subscriptions.
Construction was completed in 1906 and the Library opened on February 1, 1907.
Today's ODC is technology. When I was a kid (don't you hate sentences that start that way) ... when I was a kid researching a subject required an advanced plan involving a requested trip to the library and stand in line to check out the material before my classmates. Today I visit the library on-line and still wait in line to check out the material with my former classmates who got there before me.

A year ago today the snow'd melted (unlike this morning) and I spent some time trying to convert the resulting puddles into interesting photographs. No luck.
Eventually I wandered downtown to check my mail, and took this photo of the library's entryway. It's gonna be obvious by the year's end that I'd photograph the library when my earlier efforts had failed to produce anything I liked.
=========
A few seconds later I stepped into the post office, spotted the packaging arranged on the wall, and recognized the day's 366 project photo.
