RONNIE RECTOR DRAGON ALLEY

12” x 16” — Watercolor $650

Dragon Alley is an image from a video I took during a mother-daughter weekend in San Francisco in 2019. My daughter and I got very lucky walking up into Chinatown, because a celebration with lion dancers and a very noisy band were just coming down the street. They were weaving around the cars and pedestrians, all dressed in colorful clothing and wonderful lion costumes. Their various percussion instruments were loud enough, but then a couple of shopkeepers nearby set off strings of tiny, incredibly noisy fire crackers. We dashed into a nearby kimono store to escape the noise. Good memories!
