[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In China there is an art form where the artist paints in reverse - from the inside-out. Inside the glass and painting backwards with the most "front" painted first and the background last. With a tiny brush, these artists do some very detailed work. Great eyes and great care must be used. It is a slow process and I am sure the dollar per hour rate is very low. This work goes back many years to when the first glass bottles were invented. If lucky, these are a rare and special find. The ones here in this photo are all new.

David,

Neat photo, and the Chinese 'reverse' art is fascinating. I have one with my name (in Chinese).

The composition works well.

Regards

Dennis
