I am sorry for disappearing last week. This is what I had been working for more than 30 hours last week. I tried to finish this painting which I am going to give to my aunt as housewarming gift when they move in to their new house next month.
There are six red-crowned Asian cranes over the long tall grasses in the painting. Crane symbolizes longevity in Chinese. I purposely painted the background black and it goes well with the gold/yellow grasses. This is a very big 4 feet by 2 feet painting. I have not signed and put my name seal yet. I am hoping either my dad or my teacher would like to pen some writing to complete the painting.
