Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Scenery on the Li River by Xiao Fan.
What can I say, I’m a fan of Fan.
I urge you to pick this one apart. The mist in the mountains, the shadows along the shorelines, the use of pink. If this wasn’t already sold it would be hanging on my wall.

Birds On A River scroll by Xiao Fan.
Putting art on a wall scroll just immediately makes it cooler doesn’t it? I like how Fan leaves the fisherman out of this one because the cormorants are usually the stars of the show anyway.

Traditional Home in Winter by Xiao Feng.
This traditional chinese style of painting - which I enjoy very much - is difficult to master. I’ve tried. Most of the time I find myself making the mistake of adding too much detail.
Feng doesn’t do that here. With just enough color she brings us back to a China of long ago. Feng was born with deformed legs and was left on a street corner right after she was born.

Fishermen in Guilin by Xiao Fan from a village near Yangtze River.
There is much to appreciate about this work. The depth, the wisps of fog rolling between the spires, the cormorants on the boats. But what is more astounding is that this was done by a young boy who lost his parents in a flood.
