Mostly bedbound with #severeME. Love reading. Writing poems. A friend to Nature and all her creatures. Korean and Japanese dramas/films are my happy escape.
Watching Painter of the Wind. It's about Shin Yun-Bok, who was a famous painter in the Joseon Dynasty. Died in 1813.
The traditional Korean music in the film is soo beautiful, and it's fascinating to watch his/her paintings being created right in front of your eyes.
The sister of Cicely Mary Barker ran a kindergarten and the little children became Cicely's much loved models. She painted the plants from life and if she couldn't find the specimen needed, it was often provided by Kew Gardens staff.
