Artist Village: Dafin

 Scenes from the artist village near Shenzhen, China. 








 This is how a lot of (80%) of the world's oil paintings begin....
 It is first printed on a canvas-then stretched and painted. 
 However- some artists are still doing original work in the village and it is pretty cool. 
 I commissioned a funky little portrait of our family in HK-can't wait to see it! 


 I really liked these HUGE painting-but no where to put them in my tiny HK flat!


I'll be sure to show you all the portrait once complete!

  1. Good afternoon from L.A.!

    Some of our favorite pieces of art came from our visits to Hong Kong. We had to get them streched on frames, but they are fabulous. I only wish we'd known about this village~we would have gone in a heartbeat. What a fun trip y'all must have had. I can't wait to see your commisioned portrait!

    Have a great week and Happy Mardi Gras season!

    Warmly,

    Elizabeth
