Description
Jia Lu 2011, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inchesI had almost forgotten this small canvas. I am very pleased with the light, relaxed brushwork. This is a direction in which I hope to move with future work, creating a maximum effect from a minimum of effort. In fact looks can deceive - I find it is very slow and difficult to paint like this because I tend to over-think my brushstrokes, and must take time to relax. This painting is as much about touch and hearing as it is about light and color - all my senses must be engaged when I work, so excuse me while I go and brew some Kona coffee and turn on some classical music.

Featured your fantastic painting:
September SplendorIt is hard to believe September is already one-third over, and the trees are changing colors again. I hope you can find time to enjoy the beauty of nature a few times before the weather gets cold and the season of artificial busyness gets you crazy. I am happy that I have at least 2/3 of my Christmas shopping done, and my library fractal display is back home, for it was not, apparently, the right time for people to think of buying art. So please, visit the pages of these fellow artists, and maybe, just maybe, suggest one for a DD (sorry, I snuck in one that already has a weekly DD, the fourth here), and maybe even treat yourself with some beauty for your wall. God bless you all, thank you so much for watching, it is an honor to be part of such a fine community of people and artists like yourselves! 
Have a blessed day! -Debra

Brilliant expressive piece. I love the movement of colour and the contrast between the intense warms and moderates.

Yes, this is much better, more free from style and form, more open for the viewers perception!
Beautiful painting!

Beautiful! Made me think of Daenerys Targaryen's rebirth from fire in Game of Thrones, extremely impressive.

This is such a beautiful piece for the reasons you mention. There's something strong in the delicacy of it. That lighting in traditional media is difficult to come by, but you've done an amazing job with it. I particularly love the bounces of green and blue in the skin tones - brings them to life so much.

Wow, this is very well painted. It reminds me of the goose girl, with Enna in the background.
