According to legend, the mythical “Yellow Emperor” contemplated ways to communicate with the people. In his dream, eight magnificent horses descended from the heavens carrying scrolls filled with beautiful symbols. From these emerged the language that would unite a nation. Everywhere the celestial horses would stop to drink, flowers grew in the shape of their hoof prints. Though the legend is ancient, to the contemporary brush painter, the Calla Lily is one of the most understated, minimalist, and modern of all the lily subjects.
Experience the beauty of the Calla Lily. Paint with me on Friday, Oct 16! No prior art experience needed. Learn more at mayeefutterman.com/onetimeclass
"Confucius Temple" by Ning Yeh. From the bark on these trees to the pillars of the temple - every detail was so carefully painted!
"Grand" by Ning Yeh. The dark to light gradation on the petals works perfectly to show the base of the petal to the tip. Another "grand" work of art. 😉

The "Four Divas" of Chinese Flower Painting
"Morning Sun" by Ning Yeh. One of the best feelings is the warm sun on your face on a cool, crisp day. Have you ever tried painting streaks of sunlight? Let us see your works!
"Made My Day" by Ning Yeh. Ning Yeh doesn't often paint faces but when he does, they are spectacular! Is your day made? 😉
"Ali Mountain Trainride" by Ning Yeh. The train coming out of the mist, the blossoms reaching out, the train light shining through - all the details come together to make a masterpiece.
It's. So. Cute. 😍 Painting by Ning Yeh from 2005.
"Iris" by Ning Yeh from 2016. Sometimes the simple paintings are the best paintings.
This summer I tried growing corn. I got one good ear but that was about it. Perhaps I'd have better luck painting!

"Early Autumn" from the book "Paintings by Chao Shao-An."
It's beginning to feel like fall here in Huntington Beach! By that, we mean that the weather is no longer in the 80s. 😉

"Blue Bonnet" by Ning Yeh. This flower is named after the pioneer women who wore bonnets to protect themselves from the sun.

I remember getting 25 cents worth of fish food at the amusement park and watching the fish come eat it. Fun times!

"Mountains in Moonlight" by Chao Shao-An. I love this extremely tall painting. It's 3.5 times taller than it is wide. Have you ever tried painting on an irregular canvas size?

Autumn Trees by Lu Si-chiong.
It's a long way until fall, but in California, we get the seasons in whatever order they feel like. 😂 But I like it - keeps one from getting bored. Do you like predictability of seasons or do you prefer cold rain one day and 90 degree weather the next?
