Title: Shirley Created Art 469 & Draft 43 for Chinese Bai Miao: Flying --Dec 17, 2009
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 64.00cm x 41.00 cm ( 25.20inches x 16.14inches) Pen on Sketchbook
Completed Time: Dec 17, 2009
Remarks:
This is my 469th Painting since 2003 and the 43rd draft for my new Chinese Bai Mao.


The more I painted, the more ideas came into my mind. After I drafted 3 new paintings of red-crowned cranes, I had some new thoughts and I wanted to combine the last two bigger paintings and create a longer painting. I mean, I wanted to put all of the red-crowned cranes into one painting... :-)

I was happy about my idea; I did the new one with a pen in a new sketchbook while I was receiving a transfusion as usual in the hospital.

How do you think of this draft? Do you like it? Are you smiling at my new ideas?

Do you know how much I want to go out of the hospital and continue my art dream someday? :-)
