44.50cm x 90.00 cm ( 17.51inches x 35.43inches) Chinese Ink on the Shuxian Paper

This is My my 1069th Painting since 2003 and my 58th Chinese Bai Mao,my 106th Paintings in the USA and the 30th Painting in my 6th American Travel Dec 09-10, 2015.

I painted this painting for I would like to do a demonstration at the gallery of Ava Artist Guild. To share the process how Chinese paint a Chinese Gongbi from painting from the nature, then to order them at home, then to change it to be a Chinese Baimiao and then to color it to be a Chinese Gongbi Painting, and then to be a Chinese Mogu Painting...

I was very busy at USA, therefore, I could only work on it in the night and almost every night I worked until 1:30am or 2:00am and often felt too tired to keep working.

However, every time, when I was working on it, I did feel my heart getting peaceful. So, when I was too sleepy, I touched some cold water on my head or I had a short nap against on my table, then I kept working on it.

I was happy that I completed it ahead two days before I went to Ava, then I would have time to color it to be a Chinese Mogu Painting.

Both of them are below and I do hope you enjoy it.

Anyway, today, when I upload these painting on the web site, I felt so shame for I have not paint any Chinese Baimiao painting for about 16 months. Though I did it but just for drafting for a Chinese Gongbi painting instead of a typical Chinese Baimiao Painting though it is one of my favorite painting.

So, in the upcoming days, I would work more on it... :-)
