   Yesterday we went to the Varley Art Gallery in Unionville and saw an exhibit of 19th century chinese export paintings.  Since this is a birding blog we thought the paitings of various birds would be interesting.  This post and some following posts have photos of these bird paintings.

   In this first post we have included information on the history and description of chinese export paintings.
