	137.	Folk Art Quad Panel 1: Xiang Xiu hand embroidered scenes If what you like is folk art, this four panel piece of Xiangshou style of Chinese embroidery art illustrates country scenes in a more folksy motif.  Depicted are farmers with their harvests strapped to three-wheel bicycles, as you might see, today, in the countryside of China.  The next panel shows an outdoor picnic scenes.  In the third panel is shown the evening after-dinner get-together, in the backyard of a house, in a village with a snow-capped mountain, in the background.  In the final panel are shown street, food vendors, which are also much a part of life, in China, everywhere, today.  The down-to-earth four scene panel shows a true slice of life in China, in a folk art format that gives it a simple but eternal  appeal.  The bright primary colors give it even more natural charm. Framed and matted under glass, 45 x 45 cm. To see more of the Xiangxiu embroidery art, included in the Leona Craig Art Gallery, online, please visit the Xiangxiu Embroidery Page.				$200		45 x 45 cm
	707.	Old Farmer in Shanbei II: original oil painting on canvas by Zhao Qian Xu (2006) Art has its roots in social commentary: that's what the cave drawings from 30,000 years ago were all about.  Today, in China, social commentary takes on a number of forms.  There is political art, which is, sometimes, creative; sometimes, strictly commercial.  There are a lot of paintings of girls because the sexual revolution of the 1960's was delayed by the Cultural revolution and is only occuring now.  The final form is true social commentary on the way people actually live, in China, today, as opposed to all the modern life scenes that China shows us on TV. This latter category gives us true peeks into real life, in China, not that of the glossy newsreels, and I appreciate it, personally, most of all, for I have lived in and traveled the backroads of China for the last five years, and this is what I see. This is a portrait, of a simple farmer from Shanbei, in the north, one of two differnt portraits that Xu made of this man.  It shows a rugged man with his simple native dress, and, as usual, Xu has done an excellent job at the art of portraiture, this time, in a more realistic style.				$6,000		80x70cm
	140.	Dawn: original oil painting on canvas by Ri Dong Ou It's just after dawn.  The sun is breaking through the clouds, and a helicopter can be seen, outlined in the clouds.  The sniper has been deposited on the high ground, ready to go about her business. Ri Dong Ou has done a number of pop culture art paintings in which he puts beautiful Chinese girls in military situations, as snipers or soldiers, stalking though the jungles.  We especially liked this one with its contrasts of the girl, equipped in with sniper gear and attire, yet also made up as if she were ready for a date - could it be a date with destiny?

		Zhengyuan Old Town, original watercolor painting by Li Jin Ming (1982) 镇远古城 Zengyuan is a town with a 2000 year history, east of Guizhou, which was originally on the silk road.  Li painted this scene from memory.  He was so taken by the beauty of this isolated town with its houses atop the mountain and the clear water of its river, and he hopes it will be preserved, as it is. It is done in a light and fun style, yet, it displays such a dramatic scene with a high bridge, houses on the cliffs, a massive stairs from the cliff top down to the water and high mountains, in the background.  Moreover, even though it is an isolated area, it is filled with life with people on the stairs and on the bridge.  The style is more abstract and the colors are brilliant. 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.						16x17
