This is Xi He. In chinese legend she was the mother of ten suns, one for each day of the week. Everyday she would bathe them in a lake, wrap them up and place them on a mulberry tree. She would then send one out per day, until one day, they were bored and felt mischievous, so they took the journey over the earth together, scourching it.
Then they were all shot down, all but one...but that's another story...
So, I'm almost done ripping off Hwa San-chiuen style for chinese ladies. Though I have to confess, it was really nice to shift away from my normal compositions and from my normal palette. I liked being outside my comfort zone! (Next guy might be Erte)
One more chinese ladies piece (I need to make a Christmas present) and I'll move on to something else, I promise.
Watercolour and Chinese cake ink, on Arches Hot pressed (yummy). 7x10 inches.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
