This is my 32nd
Chinese Gongbi Painting and
my 482nd picture since 2003. The 10th/29th painting/practice in 2010.
I drafted this painting
on my sketchbook with pen in the Armed Police Force Hospital of Shenzhen, when I was waiting for the checking Pat/CT (Positron Emission Computed Tomography) after being injected some medicine in my vein on Dec 21.
This weekend, I painted it to be Maibiao with Chinese Ink on a piece of silk, and I colored it.
I did not make sure whether I should color the background for the painting since most of traditional Chinese Gongbi Paintings do not paint the background and I also enjoyed the snow-white silk, since I felt very comfortable when I saw the painting on the white silk. But, I colored it finally, because I thought that the colors of the background could make all of the things on the silk to be connected together... :-)
How do you think of this painting. Do you like I offer a background for the painting or not?
