This is my 379th
Chinese Xieyi Painting and
my 697th painting since 2003, the 87th assignment in Chinese National Academy of Arts.
I enjoy painting Red-crowned crane, not only for it is Chinese "national" bird in many people's opinion, there are many good symbolic meanings, but also, I do enjoy its graceful feature, just like a handsome gentleman or a beautiful girl.
Along with the time, I do find I have painted so many red crowned cranes and it has become my favorite painting subject.
This week, I painted 4 red crowned cranes. Even though I do not satisfy my work yet, I did enjoy the painting process.
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
