This is my 590
Chinese Xieyi Painting and
my 1065th painting since 2003and My 102nd Painting in the USA and the 26th One in My 6th American Travel.
After painting 8 chrysanthemum paintings with Chinese ink as my daily practice, still I wanted to paint, then I painted the two peonies.
About 1 or 2 months ago, a young student of Missouri State University, who had helped me in my current travel called me and wished me to paint a picture for him as a gift to send one of his professors. I prmised to paint but I had no any emotion to work on it ( unless I had to paint in the classroom for my teaching in the K-12 schools ) because I had been in the exhausted situation for the house purchasing, extensive teaching and studying schedules...Until Thanksgiving, Nov 25 / 26, I felt much better for the teaching jobs in 3 local K-12 schools had been finally finished on Nov 22 and I had also moved into my new house on Nov 18.
Even though I felt my hands out of practice, in my heart, it was full of the happiness for I could paint in a much better conditions finally...
I do felt that the flowers had reflected my heart. Therefore, I have called the student and asked him to come to choose one of the paintings.
To be honest, since I went to art colleges in Beijing, I have seldom sent my paintings to anyone else. If I must do it, I would go to ask my tutor, to choose something best at that time ponit. Because I am still in the studying process, it is not the time to do that yet.
How do you think of the two paintings? Do you enjoy them?
