Remarks:
This is my 554thChinese Xieyi Painting and my 1024th painting since 2003, the 392nd assignment of Chinese National Academy of Arts.
I had painted this painting twice in May, 2012 and in April, 2013. It is a little bit coincident I painted it in June, 2015.
I was happy when I worked in the buds and leaves of the flowers for I felt that I have found a right method to paint on this kind of paper. :-)
The pity was that I did for too long time on my daily practices, so that I had no much time to work on it and the tree peony is not ideal. :-)
Anyway, this morning, one of my former classmates Mr. Liu Tao -- an Associate Art Professor of a university from Shandong Province came into my classroom and looked at my last 3 big size paintings on the wall, the first word he said was "Wow! You have painted so well!"
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
