Duck's End by Liza Hirst 

 Of course it was the red on light green that caught my eye at first. Only a little later I saw another interesting detail...

Beijing Hutong

Beijing Hutong by Liza Hirst

A typical street, a socalled "Hutong", in one of the few remaining old areas of Beijing. It was a cold, sunny winter afternoon.

Beautiful Past

Beautiful Past by Liza Hirst Visiting the Forbidden City was, of course, a highlight of our trip. I especially loved the vast spaces between the individual temples. But then, finding a beautiful gate like this one in a "back alley" was also very impressive. oil on canvas - Öl auf Leinwand - huile sur toile 20 cm x 20 cm / 7,9" x 7,9" sold

Passing Through

Passing Through by Liza Hirst

Its a good feeling to be posting again, even better to be painting again! I missed both but.... visiting Beijing wasn't bad either! Yes, we went to China. And although it was freezing cold, we loved it. As usual, I didn't get any painting down while we were travelling, but I took loads of photos and hope to be able to do some good work from them. Here's my first attempt, a scene in the Forbidden City.
