Chinese Painting Artist Mingshu Jing

This page gives a brief introduction for the traditional Chinese
painting artist Mingshu Jing, my father, and his art work of watercolor painting.

I am so proud to introduce my father and his artwork on my website. In fact, before I introduce his paintings here, I have already posted many of his home cooking recipes and family cooking videos on this site. 

In this page, I mainly talk about his passion for traditional Chinese watercolor painting. We recently made a brand new  Chinese Painting Wall Calendar and Greeting Card based on his artwork, which is now available on our Zazzle store. The calendar includes the beautiful four season landscape Chinese watercolor paintings. It is a perfect gift for traditional Chinese art lovers in Chinese New Year.

Chinese Painting Book by Mingshu Jing

Here is what my father says about the influence of his art work,
development of his art style and techniques. The following content was written by him for his art book published in 2015.
 
"我自幼喜欢山水画,退休后,又在国画大师王中年浅绛山水的诱惑感染下,自己舞文弄墨十余载,在山水画方面略微悟出一点皮毛,零零星星也有些创作,但多数已经遗失。如今编此画册,实不想宣哗,更不想迷失自己,因为我知道这十多年一路走来,画带给我的除了满目山川之外,更多的是一生宁静和祥适,而身边的亲朋则希望通过画册能让他们看到我更多的作品。最终,在大家的支持和帮助下,将部分作品、稿件汇编成册,了却了个人多年的心愿。在此,本人深表谢意。"

"I have loved landscape painting since my childhood. After retirement, I was influenced by Chinese art master Zhongnian Wang's Qianjiang landscape painting. Have practiced Chinese painting for more than ten years, I gradually start to comprehend more of the landscape painting. During these years, I had many paintings but most of them had gone missing. (either sent to friends or collected by competitions). Today I publish some of my work in this book, which is not for showing off, but just don’t want to lose myself. Because I know for these years, what painting brings to me, is not just the beautiful landscape, but more than that, it brings the peace and harmony in life.  Family and friends around me also like to see the book which can show them more of my work. Finally, with support of many people, I selected part of my paintings and edited them in this book. It has fulfilled my long-held dream and I am very grateful for the support. "
