Worked off a picture taken by my grandfather when he traveled back to China.
Oil on Canvas. 20x16

Picture taken with 5.0MP digital, edited in Photoshop to reduce grain and to add a white border. Forgive the crappy quality.

Completed August 28, 2006, Completed Editing: January 29, 2007

Hah! This is something I meant to post A LOT earlier. But, being the procrastinating lazy-ass I am, this didn't get done for several months.

Initially, it was painted for the portfolio required for qualifying for the AP Studio Art class at my school (thus the "Completed August 28, 2006" thing.)

It took a godamn long time to finish, courtesy of my laziness (for the longest time, I had thought that "laziness" was spelled "lazyness" wtf...) but I digress; factoring in trips, excursions, breaks, eating-time, nap-time, sleep and, shitting time, it took roughly the entire 3 months of summer vacation to do.

Even at it is now, I still feel that theres something missing - perhaps someday I'll go back and edit it again.



EDIT SEPTEMBER 27 2007:


O_O!! Hoh I got a feature! Thank you
