Listen to Shirley Singing the Poem in 2006Follow Shirley to Read the PoemLearn the Meaning of the Poem with Shirley TogetherSee Shirley Created Picture for the PoemRead Shirley Written Chinese Calligraphy for ItI created this picture to match a Chinese classical poem, to express the feeling that people miss their beloved in the far away place in the moonlight.
I am trying to create this painting with two styles of Chinese paintings. I mean to mix Chinese Gongbi and Chinese Xieyi styles on same picture.
Once more, I met the problem that a paper can not be suitable for two style paintings at the same time. I feel that the pine tree part is ok. The water lily part is not good enough because the paper for the Chinese Xieyi, can not be colored like a Chinese Gongbi. So, I will keep continuing to try again. :-)
Aiming at the problem that my teacher pointed that the two parts in my 8th combined painting
Intone A Willow in The Spring's lacks some connecting, the fish do not seem nature on my 9th combined painting
Chanty. I have created two couple of things to echo the two parts: the pine branch and the grass, the two birds, plus the moon between them. What I wanted to do is to enhance the connecting between the two parts inside.
Anyway, I am not sure what my teacher will comment it yet.
How do you think of this picture? Do you enjoy it?
