This is my 697th
Chinese Xieyi Painting and
my 1206th painting since 2003and My 502nd assignment and 92nd painting in the study of the second phase as a candidate of Degree of Master of Fine Arts of Chinese National Academy of Arts.
It is interesting that my tutor / supervisor required me to read an art book by Mr. Shi Dao(1642-1708) in Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) on July 15, until Dec 15, I had been reading the firs chapter. But after experiencing the big frustration, I have not only read all of the 18 chapters of the book, but also I have read another 3 books within the past 1 week.
So, now, I do feel the bad experience maybe a good think for me. At least, when I paint this painting, I have felt the inter action between the bird in the sky and the music on the ground...
How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?
