	178.	Old Foreigner: original oil painting on canvas by Feng Wu Sui (Sui Feng Wu), 2007 In the U.S.. we might say: that man is Italian, or French, or Spanish, or Russian, if we were being slightly politically incorrect.  Here, in China, everyone who looks not Chinese is referred to, simply, as foreigners: waiguo ren, lao wai, or (Cantonese) gui lao, in Chinese and Cantonese.  The Chinese simply do not have enough experience with outsiders to distinguish among differing foreign nationalities, or it's an us and them mentality, whichever. Feng Wu Sui specializes in portraiture, and this is one of several of his portraits that we have chosen to display in the Leona Craig Art Gallery.  It is a nicely done portrait of an old man of indeterminable national origin.  He is dressed simply but brightly; the coloring of his skin suggests vitality; his face shows character.  Indeed, beards and body hair are always fascinating to the Chinese, most of whom do not have the heavy body hair of someone, like me, who is of Mediterranean decent.  The composition makes it appear as if he were caught walking down the street.  Even, the stones of the wall, in the background, have character, and there brightness provides a nice backdrop against which to paint this man's portrait. We have other paintings by Feng Wu Sui (Sui Feng Wu), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery on-line.  To see more, just click on: Feng Wu Sui Page			$350		20x30cm
	191.	View from the North (Guangzhou), original watercolor painting by Li Jin Ming 1970  One night Li and his wife were having dinner in one the higher buildings by the river, and this view of the north captuered his interest.  At the time there were no tall building, as yet, in Guangzhou, and they could see all the way to the TV tower on Yuexiu Mountain and beyond.  Li liked the contrast of the soft brick building, many of which can still be seen between and behind the tall ones, today, and the hardness of the steel tower. We offer several works by Jin Ming Lee (Jin Ming Li), in the Leona Craig Art Gallery on-line.  To see our current offerings, just click on: Jin Ming Lee Page.					14x8cm
	739.	Wonder Where This Water Comes From, original oil painting by Tang Hai Guo If you think this is like dog's playing poker, you're wrong.  The title of the painting, as the sign on the fountain asks, is: wonder where this water comes from.  A question that even a dog has to ask before taking a sip of any water, in modern China.  It is certainly a brilliant work from Tang's animal portrait series. To see more of the art of Tang Hai Guo, included in the Leona Craig Art Gallery, on-line, please visit the Tang Hai Guo Page.			$2,500		100x120cm
	194.	The Sniper: original oil painting on canvas by Ri Dong Ou (2008) Ri Dong Ou (Ou Ri Dong) likes to do pop culture art.  In this one, he shows a young pretty Chinese girl in sniper attire, complete with sniper's rifle with telescopic site.  She looks soft, yet serious.  She is trekking through a forest, and she looks she is all business.  Her garb has that soft feathered look, covering shiny surfaces, like has become so popular as sniper attire in recent Hollywood movies.  All of that toughness and seriousness is juxtaposed against a foreground of delicate wildflowers, adding to its tongue-in-cheek composition. The painting style is realistic, which is Ou's usual style, and the colors are true to life.  It also shows Ou's abilities, not only as a good technical realistic painter but also as a fine painter of portraiture, which is also evident in the paintings that he has done of Hillary Clinton, which can be seen, along with other paintings of his, in the Leonoa Craig Art Gallery on-line, on the Ri Dong Ou Page.			$4,200		97x130cm
	192.	Coconut Village, oil on painting canvas by Li Jin Ming (1972) 椰林寨 布面油画  In 1972, Li went to Hainan Island, and stayed near Wuzhi Mountain.  One morning he woke to see clear blue skies and the light shining on the coconut trees, and he was inspired to paint this scene.  When he asked one of the farmers about the ladders and stands on the one tree, he was told that guards stay there for the night to guard against wild boars stealing coconuts.  As China has now designated Hainan as a resort area for development, simple beauty, like this, is sure to fall by the wayside.
