Remarks:
This is my 522Chinese Xieyi Painting and my 972nd painting since 2003, the 352nd assignment of Chinese National Academy of Arts.
You cannot imagine how happy I have been since I came back to the school and since I re-took up my painting brushes. With a quite delight heart, I painted this painting twice because I did not think that the first one I had painted in the USA last year good enough.
Because bamboo is a very important culture in China, I do not think that I have mastered it good yet. So, since I started to paint this painting, I started my daily bamboo training. Every day, I paint at least 3 pieces of bamboo paintings while I painted many pieces of leaves or branches of bamboo for at least 2 hours.
Since I did not think this painting is good enough yet, so I have not signed my name on it.
I will paint another one after I practice more bamboos.
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
