Crop "Drawings" in Shenyang, China

Courtesy or my sister, I can share some fascinating photos of crop "drawings" on display in Shenyang, China at the moment. The colorful drawings of corporate logos, presumably the sponsors', animals, buildings and well-known and beloved mythical figures, such as the Monkey King, were absolutely enchanting.









These paintings definitely have attracted some gawkers, who for a modest fees, could clime atop the observation tower or deck for a good view.  Hopefully, it is good business.

“Shadow” Over the Land – Featured Painting

My landscape/allegorical oil painting, Shadow, depicts a fantastic world - a vast furrowed dark brown field, whose parallel ridges converge towards the distant horizon, which was dotted with a cluster of very insignificant white buildings, centering on a little church spire, which was barely visible. The contrast between the enormous dark fields and the tiny white village is highly dramatic, yet that is topped by several huge leaden and apparently weighty clouds, which curiously cast no shadows; instead, adds mysterious and menacing atmosphere, gliding over the entire field, s a huge shadow of an invisible bird, very much the personification of foreboding.

Interestingly, this painting just joined a group show, titled "In to the Future". Perhaps, this ominous world is the vision of the future?
