Completed Time: Feb 14, 2016
Remarks:
This is my 594Chinese Xieyi Painting and my 1086th painting since 2003and My 120th Painting in the USA and the 44th One in My 6th American Travel.

Maybe you would like to ask why Shirley enjoys painting a golden pheasant under the flowers? Because a Chinese idiom Jin Shang Tian Hua.

Jin points golden pheasant. Its Chinese name is Jin Ji, Here, people use the homonymic between Jin and golden pheasant; Shang means over, upper; Tian means add; Hua means flower. Jin zhang Tian Hua means add a beautiful thing to a contrasting beautiful thing / give an added grace to what is already beautiful and to make it more beautiful. To make something good to be better.

How do you think of these paintings? Do you enjoy them?
