Title: Shirley's Art Works 1115 & Chinese Baimiao -66 (Draft for Chinese Baimiao)-- June 01-July 12 , 2016
Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang
Size: 227cm x 145cm ( 89.37 inches x 57.08inches) Chinese Ink on Paper
Completed Time: July 12, 2016
Remarks:
This is My my 1115th Painting since 2003 and my 66th Chinese Bai Mao. Exactly speaking, it is in fact not a draft of Chinese Baimiao.

I had an idea to create an American Cultural Map Series in my English lesson at OTC in the USA in Nov, 2015. Then I started the draft for the first painting of the series June 1. After working on it for 40 days, I drafted it twice with Pencil and Chinese ink.

Now it is not a Chinese Baimiao painting, but a draft for a Chinese Baimiao painting.

Four of my tutors in Chinese Traditional Painting Academy commented my painting and gave me directions 6 times in the past 40 days. Now I have made 4 models with 4 sizes. The biggest one is 648cm x 414cm ( 255inches x 162.99inches).

I would like to complete creations with 3 or 4 maps and 3 or 4 art albums /books in the upcoming 3 years at the same time to work on the other things.

How do you think of my idea? Do you enjoy it?
