Title: Shirley Created Art-- Chinese Xieyi--0112: Happy & Harmonious
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 49.5cm x 84.5cm
Completed Time: Wednesday, Jan, 3, 2007
Remarks:
This is my 112nd Chinese Xieyi -- Freehand Brushworks in my art lesson Wednesday night and also the first picture that I created in the New Year. :-)

My teacher thought that I had done a good work and wanted to give me 90 marks. But, after I colored my leaves of the tree, my marks were changed to be 85 and my teacher pointed that was too bright so that the picture's main part of the hen and her babies could not be understood. In a Chinese idiom, the too bright blue part is just like "A presumptuous guest usurps the host's role." For this bad mistake, my marks have been reduced. :-)

I do agree with the comments and also I did not think that my hen is good, her back part seems like too small, and not be very natural. :-)

Do you enjoy this picture? What is your first feeling when you see it first eyes. :-)
