Every day I went to Beijing University Shenzhen Hospital, I saw these beautiful Chinese banana trees by the road and I wanted to paint them in person. So, before I flew back Beijing, specially, I took a taxi to see and to paint them. Under the hot sunshine, I painted for about 3 hours until I could not stand the so many mosquitoes to bite me ... :-) How do you think of this sketch? Do you enjoy it?
