Title: Shirley Created Art 452 & Chinese Gongbi--027: Affectionateness
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 25cm x 35cm (9.84 inches x 13.78 inches) on Silk
Completed Time: Thur, Oct 29, 2009
Remarks:
This is my 27thChinese Gongbi Painting and it is my 452nd pictures since 2003, the 45th picture that I have created in 2009.

Last Thursday, I got a telephone call from my brother in the afternoon. My mother was sent into the hospital for cancer. I was shocked so much and quickly, I booked my round trip tickets and flied to see her at the first time.

As usual, I took my sketchbook with me and I wanted to create something for my parents.

With much love and sadness, I started to create this picture with a pen on the airplane from Shenzhen to Wuxi. I wanted to express the affectionateness between my parents with the two cute birds, to bring them some smiles, Even though I just painted the two birds and the two flowers when I showed them last Friday night, I did feel that they enjoyed them. Then, on the airplane from Wuxi to Shenzhen, I completed my draft.

Then, I made Chinese Baimiao 2 times. Then I colored it as soon as I had time in my lunch time and in the nights. Right now, I have completed it and I put it on the web site.

I do hope that my parents will smile when they see my painting for them. I do hope to bring you a beautiful enjoyment.
