Jeff (Thanka Painter) Feb1/09

At breakfast I meet Jeff. He is staying in Kathmandu 6 months learning to Thanka paint. He was a teacher for 20 years in Japan. He is American but married his wife in Japan and lives there.

We have many breakfasts together as we are both up early for school. He is very tall and pleasant. Unfortunately I don't think to take his photo or that of his Thanka painting before he leaves.

Thanka paintings are very detailed work that tell a story about various gods etc. or are used for meditation purposes.
