Crown of the Year by Li Jin Ming   收获季节 布面油画  (1976) Crown of the Year, oil painting on canvas by Li Jin Ming

From the Dongguan series, it was a very common scene during harvest time.  People are busy shuttling the grain back and forth on the waterways to find places to lay it out to dry.  Li used dark yellows, not only to capture the colors of the season but also to emphasize the excitement and busyness of that time of the year, back then.  It is a beautiful and timeless country scene but one that will never be seen, in Dongguan, again.

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.

Gesang Flowers of the Fields: painting by Dapu 641. Gesang Flowers of the Fields: original oil painting on canvas by Dapu (Zhang Ai Min) 2009

This is an at-home family portrait of the Zang nomad sheep and cattle herders who roam the Tibetan Plateau and of whose life Dapu has painted a number of paintings.  The Gesang flower is a hardy flower that grows on the Tibetan Plateau and can withstand the howling winds and heavy downpours.  This sizable painting has been chosen for a book celebrating the 60 year anniversary of the Peoples Republic of China and is being considered for acceptance into this year's (2009) national art competition (depends on not only talent but also guanxi).

With their home, in the background, a cow grazing, in between, and herds of cattle and sheep, off in the distance, and hawks soaring in the sky, it is a beautiful piece of social commentary about the simple lifestyle on the Tibetan Plateau, today.  Although the older women are dressed in traditional clothing and jewelry, the family motorcycle and the dress of the children shows that the modern world is gradually mixing into their lives.  Yet the realistic style shows the carefree and happy demeanor of these gentle peoples who follow their herds around the plateau: the flowers of the fields of the north side of the Himalayas.

We have seen other paintings of beautiful girls from the area, but we like this one so much more for its honest and beautiful portrait of the real people who live in and off the land.

Little River, oil painting by Li Jin Ming   Little River Fork (Dongguan), original oil painting by Li Jin Ming (1980) 小河叉

In winter, in 1980, Li went to paint this in the Zhongtang area of Dongguan.  Li was so enthralled with painting the scene, in freezing temperatures (winters, in Guangdong, were much colder, back then), that when he finished, he could not use his fingers to remove the tacks that held the canvas to his easel, and people from the crowd that had gathered to watch him paint, helped him.

It has the beautiful muted colors of winter, in the south of China, and it is in the characteristic impressionistic style that Li had been developing for almost two decades, by then.  The little boat on the water is adorable, adds movement to the cold winter scene,  and helps to lead the eye around the painting.
