Painting - Oil On Canvas Original Art By Xueling Zou
Description
Thank you for viewing my original art. ©Xueling Zou -
This was a last minute birthday gift and a commissioned portrait, which was set up in an extremely tight deadline in the early summer of 2008. The lady in the portrait was a literature lover also a writer herself. I was too brave to take this challenge and did this portrait overnight, and gave it to my client early the next morning when this painting was still very wet - and in a box, it was delivered in person to the east coast on time.
I haven't seen it since then, but I just found this image of the painting. What I did really surprises me! With exaggerated background colors, my confident brushstrokes - and all was done in such a short time. It is very interesting to see how my art has grown and how I had some strengths back then. I never thought that I could do such a good job so fast :).

Xueling, this portrait expresses so much elegance and dignity! I read your description, and I must say from my own experience that we are sometimes best when we are under pressure, we can "catch the wave" and dive into a state of flow ... Superb work! Best wishes, Andreas, L/F and :)
