	613.	Overlooking Danxia: original oil painting on canvas by Xue Sheng Tan (丹霞远眺) 1962 This mountain scene is full of bright and soothing colors. It is from early, in Tan's career, painted in 1962 when he was around 40 years old. The style is the free and happy style of the impressionist mind, painting a breathtaking scene of nature. His teacher Feng Mian Lin (Lin Feng Mian) of the famed Hangzhou School of oil painting would be proud of his execution. Danxia, in China's Guizhou Province, is often called China's Jurassic Park because it's red sandstone rock formations and the alsophila ferns that grow there have their origins some 200 million years ago. It's greens are those of a primeval forest, and the waters are the clear blue of a land forgotten by time. The area is currently under consideration by UNESCO as a natural heritage site.

	179.	Tibetan Man: original oil painting on canvas by Feng Wu Sui (2007) Art, for us, is more enjoyable when it depicts reality instead of a sugar-coated version of the world. We have included several portraits by Feng Wu Sui, in our gallery, and this is one of our favorites. It shows an old Tibetan man from the Zang minority. Although his hair is white and messy, his face shows alertness, peace, and a bit of mirth. He might be up in years, but he is, by no means, what you imagine when you think of old man. He might not fit the classical definition of handsome, but his ruddy rugged looks, his proud nose, his twinkling eyes, and his chiseled features make his face a very pleasant face to look at. You can see from his face that, although life, in Tibet, might not be easy with the thin air, the cold weather, and the isolation, it must be a happy and healthful life. Feng Wu Sui displays excellent brush technique in his portrait paintings of both faces and full bodies. He has done an exceptional job in capturing the spirit of this Tibetan man in this simple but beautiful portrait, and we just love it. We have several works by Feng Wu Sui (Sui Feng Wu), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery. To see them all, click on: Feng Wu Sui Page		$300	20x30cm

	712.	Cows Come Home in the Evening, original oil painting on canvas by Meng Liu Cows are uncommon in much of China, so, when you see a cow herder, they usually only have a few cows, not the large herds that you would see even at a small farm, in the US. This is one of two paintings that we have of Cow hereds by Meng Liu, in the Leona Craig Art Gallery. The other one is a morning scene with the herder taking the cows out to pasture, in the morning; in this one, they are returning home for the evening. The other painting is misty and darker, while this one is more colorful and bright. We like the works of Meng Liu because they show good technique and diverse and thoughful subjects. We also tend to appreciate scenes from real life, in China, instead of the glitzy portrails that China tries to show the world, in its own press releases. We have several paintings by Meng Liu (Liu Meng), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery. To see them all, just click on: Meng Liu Page		$8,000	100x80cm

	635.	Pomegranate, oil painting on canvas by Li Jin Ming (2009) 石榴布面油画 In Guangdong, the pomegranate symbolizes many sons and grandsons, as it contains many seeds. Li says he likes the color of the fruit, and he used special brushwork and extra colors to make the painting come to life. It reminds me of a still life of pomegranates done by his mentor, Xu Jian Bai, many years ago, but I actually like Jin Ming's better. We offer several works by Jin Ming Lee (Li Jin Ming), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery on-line. To see our current offerings, just click on: Jin Ming Lee Page		$5,100	60x60cm

	724.	The Fortress, original oil painting on canvas by Xu Zhao Qian (2008) Tibet is famous for its fortresses and monasteries. When you are isolated, in the high Himalayas, you have to protect yourself and be a self-sufficient world unto yourself. This is one of a series of paintings that Xu painted in Tibet, a few years back. In them, he uses the more abstract approach that he has come to prefer, although he complains that the local buyers have difficulty understanding anything but clear, precise painting. In this scene is shown a fortress with the typical prayer flags flying in the wind. Two monks are seen passing by: one walking and one on horseback; the mountains rising in the background. The colors are bright and wonderful in this typical scene from modern Tibet.
