Painting of Children: "Hsiu Li"

"Hsiu Li", (Little Girl with Cherry Blossoms)
2004, oil on canvas, 22”x28”.
In a private collection, Maryland.

The little girl in the painting was strolling with her family among the breath-taking cherry trees in full bloom in the Kenmore area of Maryland. I obtained permission to photograph this pretty little girl but I never got her name. I named the picture after Audrey, the daughter of my good friend. Audrey's Chinese name is "Hsiu Li", which means delicate and beautiful.
