Right now, I have been used of painting from the nature every day. If I did not do that one day, I did not think that I had done my proper business. Therefore, I completed it in the hotel of Shido -- Suburb of Beijing -- I was invited there to paint while to be offered a position as the executive vice president of a collage in a big project. Two gentlemen picked up me by my school, then we went to pick up anther one in another place, so, we started at 9:30am, but reached Shidu in the afternoon. After a long discussion, I did not think that I should take part in them and decided to go back Beijing next day. So, I went back my room of the hotel and completed this painting according to a photo that I took on the road. How do you think of this sketch? Do you enjoy it?
