Gongbi painting

I am taking a class in Chinese painting and calligraphy at the Paducah School of Art. This is one of the paintings i am working on. Chinese painting is very different than what I am use to doing. We draw our picture and then add the values and then color.

I have had this painting setting around for some time and thought I would finish it.
I have already had some offers on it. It is done in acrylic paints and measures
18" x 36". Sides are gallery wrapped so a frame is not needed.

This has been a very difficult year for me. My sweet mother passed away on July 4, of this year after been ill for some time. I hope to get back to painting and posting soon.

Last night was an awesome evening at an auction  for our local Easter Seals Art Department. Work was donated from various artist and some collaborated with East Seals clients. Not sure how much they raised, but the pieces went for really high dollar amounts!

Black and White and Red All Over by Easter Seal Artist, DJ and myself. It went for $600!
