Title: Shirley's Daily Chinese Painting Practices-43 Art Works 1021- Orchid--Xieyi-551-A339- Shirley's 389th Assignment at Chinese National Academy of Arts-June 28, 2015
Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang
Size: 70cm x 45cm (27.55inches x 17.71inches)
Completed Time: June 28, 2015
Remarks:
This is my 550thChinese Xieyi Painting and my 1021st painting since 2003, the 389th assignment of Chinese National Academy of Arts.


I myself did not think how I loved orchids so that I painted this picture more than 30 times.

The below one is the first one I painted on June 26 and the over one it the 20th piece of the paintings I painted on June 28.

Usually, I had done my daily practice for 2 or 3 hours, but June 26 to June 28, I did it for 7 or 8 hours for I really loved the orchids and I wanted to paint it better and better.




How do you think of the two paintings? Which one is a little better?
