After consulting with Uncle Ah Lai, Gu Weijing decided to temporarily use the caretaker's small house as a makeshift studio for him and Miss Koizumi Katsuko.
Painting outdoors in the rain might be seen in romantic love movies, but it's certainly not realistic.
After much consideration,
unless a shed is built, Uncle Ah Lai's room is the most suitable choice.
Looking out from the small window of this room, you can almost take in the full view of the Old Church, nearly resembling the scene in Carol's painting.
Koizumi Katsuko is still on the way,
so Gu Weijing and Uncle Ah Lai moved the table by the window to the side of the iron bed inside, then set up two wooden easels on either side.
The little girl Jasmine was brewing tea by the stove.
Meanwhile, Gu Weijing was gazing at this ancient religious building through the window.
In the rain, it stood firmly on the ground, unyielding.
In many places in the Western World, churches are ancient buildings intertwined with time.
