Jing has her ideas, such as mood and emotion, come to her after her research. Since she has traveled to different places in the world, she has thousands of pictures she took during the trips. Based on the ideas, she quickly glanced at all the photos to see which one grabbed her eye immediately. She found a picture she took many years ago and the beauty immediately caught her eye. She decided to use that picture as a reference. Before it comes to the actual painting, she sees a painting in her mind’s eye usually revolving around design, shape, tone, light, color, brush strokes and edges. All these kinds of visual elements and the image lead her thinking and working from day and night and sometimes she couldn’t fall asleep.
A Girl From a Festival won the Best of Show in the American Expressionist Society 20th Annual National Exhibition which was held at the Salmagundi Club New York 2019.
