Title: Shirley Created Art 533 - Chinese Xieyi -295:The Spring Greens the Jiangnan Again- Oct 1, 2010
Artist: Shirley Zhang
Size: 103.00cm x 44.00cm (40.55inches x 17.32inches)
Completed Time: Oct 1, 2010
Remarks:
This is my 295th Chinese Xieyi Painting and my 533rd painting since 2003. Also, it is the 62nd ( 89th ) painting (practice) that I have created in 2010.

Oct 1, is the National Day of China. Usually, I had a travel to visit my family members in China or in Australia in the National Holiday for 1 or 2 weeks. This year, since I just came back from the hospital and my new treatment on my backbone and eyes have not truly started yet. Instead of going out to "enjoy" the beautiful view everywhere in the crowded people and long lines of cars, I chose to stay at home to enjoy my reading, thinking and creating with a peaceful heart.

I need think of something about my next life road carefully -- How should I go out of my next step? Where should I spend my sick leave in the coming 6 months? To go to the art college in Beijing or to be in Australia with my son for a while or just stay in Shenzhen or have some relaxed travels?

Anyway, since my friends have helped me to register in the art college in Beijing already, since my visa of Australia can be used for a long time, since the most important thing right now should be to treat my sickness, I went to see a doctor as soon as I got the last checking result.

Then, I went to the biggest art book store, bought another more than 10 art books, to teach myself on painting the landscapes of Jiangnan -- the South of the Yangtze River.

Ha, you cannot imagine what a good heart when I was painting with peaceful heart after about 50 days' working in the Outpatient Clinic of the hospitals, leaving in the sickrooms Hospital, running on the long long road of seeing doctors...

What a good feeling to have some free days at home after having working and studying tightly for about 37 years...

So, I put down all of this or that choice temporarily and focused myself on the enjoyment of painting work...

Along with my brushers' work, my heart was full of the happiness and enjoyments indeed. I did feel that the houses and the villages in my new paintings were bringing me so many inspirations...

How do you think of this painting, do you enjoy it?
