Title: Shirley Created Art --Chinese Gongbi--023: A Song of Spring
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 66.5cm (25.78inch)x 84.5cm (33.26)
Completed Time: Sunday, Dec 10, 2006
Remarks:
This is my 23rd Chinese Gongbi Painting -- Traditional Chinese Realistic Painting that I just completed this evening.

I have worked on it for about 2 months, over 110 hours. :-) I had no much time in my free time. I just painted it in my lunch time and nights. I was working with a very tight style in the company, that is why, as soon as I came back home, I wanted to paint and to change my mind from my work into the art field. When I was painting, I did feel clam and peaceful. A very comfortable work.

Most of time, I did two things at same time. I mean that when I was painting I thought of my work and researching report. Sometimes, I was painting while I heard some TV program or some music. :-) Painting is helping me to have a very relaxed and peaceful heart and keep a calm emotion in my free time. :-)

I enjoy the process to create. During I was working on it, a new picture has jumped in my mind. Can you guess out what I am going to paint soon?

This picture was painted on a piece of silk. Now it has not been attached on some hard broad or some hard paper as a formal picture yet. :-)

Do you enjoy this picture?
