My husband and I spent some hours late on Tuesday night packing my large canvas into an MDF box. This is a photo of me with the canvas after it had been bubble wrapped. When the driver collected the box the next day he said that it was going straight to Heathrow and would be in China the next day.

This week I also booked my flight to Beijing for the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing International Art Biennale and I will be there for 5 days this time. I plan to buy some more calligraphic brushes, rice paper and some of the marvelous french watercolour paper in a block. I believe that seeing the huge exhibition (652 artworks from 109 countries) is going to take my own artwork forward.
