The past few days, my hand has been quite achy, so progress on this has been a bit slower than wanted...  still, some rendering has been accomplished with the foresting...   when it, and the last garden [the lush one] is finished, along with the crag of rock on which sits the 'eagle' house overlooking everything, then this section will be done in grisaille, and the coloring can begin...

One more garden to go - the lush one [where the waterfall is impacting thru the hole], then they're done, leaving the forest on the right to do, and the 'eagle' house above it all, overlooking it all...  and that section be grisailled...

The great thing about oriental gardens is that they are so consciously designed thematically, even as they impart a sense of the world-aside in their naturalness...  in my terracing these gardens, am thus able to sectionalize them, too, allowing for a shifting of emphasis when going from one to another garden - sort of as if a 'garden for every mood and need' ...  at least that is the idea...
