oil paint, board

Original oil painting (made in early 2018) based on a drawing in my sketchbook journal, from late 2017. I made the original observational ink drawing while on a moving train leaving Erenhot, a small town connecting Mongolia and China at the Chinese border. This illustration is part of a larger series from that sketchbook, which tells the story of how I trace Kublai Khan's 13th-century path, via train, in the 21st century. Copies of the original drawings are also featured in my zine "Manman Yawaarai" (2018).
