Title: Shirley Created Art 449 -- Chinese Bai Miao--032: Butterflies Love Flowers
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 53cm x 79cm (20.86inch x 31.10inch) on Silk
Completed Time: Wednesday,Oct 13, 2009
Remarks:
This is my 449th colored Painting since 2003 and the 32nd Chinese Bai Mao.

I drafted the flowers and butterflies in the US during I was a student there. I colored them and pulsed some mountains as their background during the American National Holiday 2009.

Wednesday morning, when I was reading a classical lyrics "Die Lian Hua" by Chairman Mao, I suddenly had an idea, why I did not write the lyrics on my draft and makes it to be a Chinese Baimiao, then to color it later?

I was excited and could not help smiling for my own idea. Since time was just at about 6:30am and my work time will be at 8:30am, therefore, I took out my brusher to do that.

Because I just came back to China, there was no any Chinese ink at home. So, I tried to use black color to write as I did in the US, even though it was not perfect, I completed it with a good heart before I went to my office. :-)

I am feeling good for a new different art result. I will color it when I have time.
