1991 sketches

Back in the Nineteen Ninety One when I traveled to Mount Bromo in East Java.

Mount Bromo (2,329 m) and Tengger caldera has a spectacular scenery, with active crater that constantly belches white sulphurous smoke in to the air, a cone shape mount Batok, and Mount Semeru far in the back ground. Mount Semeru is one of the most active volcano in the world.
In 1991, I traveled with my exacta SLR camera, my water color set and a Pelikan water color Pad. I did sketching on location.

20 years later, one of my work is still hung on the wall of my sister house in Jakarta. I now really appreciate to Pelikan Paper, which is not changes after such long period of time.

I plan to visit Mount Bromo and make some sketches over there this year.











Made a friend with Amanda, a visitor from UK.  
A mix media I used to this wild flowers I found in the back yard of a restaurant.
