Title: Shirley's Art Works 604 & Chinese Bai Miao 42: Part 1 of the 87 Immortals Scroll-- Shirley Zhang Leaned to Paint From Mr.Wu Daozi in CAFA- May 23 - May 29, 2011
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 108.00cm x 38.00cm (42.54inches x 12.99inches) Chinese Ink on Spun Silk
Completed Time: May 29, 2011
Remarks:
This is my 604th Painting since 2003 and my 42nd Chinese Baimiao, and the 91st assignment in China Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Chinese Baimiao is one of my favorite painting style. So, since I came to CAFA last term, I have been having a wish to learn from Mr. Wu Daozi to paint the most famous Baimiao Works -- 87 Immortal Scroll. But, I had no the courage to start it for it really needs the quite good eyesight, much patience and special peaceful heart.

So, until May 22, I have worked on my first long scroll for 2 months and finally completed it, I just decided to work on my dream really.

Now, after working on it for whole of a week, I have completed about 30% of the scroll already.

Even though sometimes, I needed to use the magnifier and eye drop, the best news is that I am sure, I can work on the specially meticulous Chinese Baimiao, that means that I can re-work on Chinese Gongbei Painting again. My eyesight has recovered basically already. :-)

With a grateful heart to my doctors, my family members and so many good friends who have helped me, I would like to show the first part of this scroll and hope to bring you a big smile.

How do you think of this painting, do you enjoy it?
