About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Siyuan Ma paints the entrance to Shanhua Temple, located inside the ancient city of Datong in Shanxi Province–a key cultural relic under state-level protection. "Shanhua Temple is a relatively complete group of buildings from the Liao and Jin dynasties," says Siyuan. The moon gate, a circular opening in traditional Chinese architecture, beckons visitors to explore the gardens beyond. He aptly captures the grand style of the historic landmark.
About the Artist
Artist Siyuan Ma creates tranquil impressionist watercolors of cultural architecture and landscapes. His integration of stains and marks left by flowing water-based pigments recall the gentle and light feeling of Chinese freehand ink painting. “Beautiful scenery is not necessarily far away. It is often around you, waiting to be discovered,†says Siyuan. Bright hues freely dance with gentle nuances, expressing a sense of stillness and peace. He carefully explores light and color and applies various contemporary painting techniques as he continuously expands the edge of painting media—turning a plain surface into a poetic space full of emotion. He creates art that is not only limited to visual aspects but also deeply meaningful. Born in Tianjin, China, Siyuan finished a bachelor’s degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. Now living in Los Angeles, Siyuan converted his living room into his home studio, which he keeps clean and tidy. His creative process is deeply rooted in where he lives and draws inspiration from my surroundings. As he continues to pursue his creative passion, Siyuan takes on part-time jobs, which allows him to earn a living while still pursuing his artistic dreams.

- French Laundry Irises, Original PaintingBy Catherine McCargarLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"This painting is a closer-up version of an earlier work called French Laundry," shares artist Catherine McCargar. She uses the same technique of priming the watercolor paper with a layer of gesso as the first painting. The process gives more fluidity to the paint, enabling her to execute wet-on-wet and to move it around as she sees fit. Catherine achieves a truly impressionistic painting with contrasting soft and hard edges that keep the viewer engaged.About the Artist

- Italian Beauty, Original PaintingBy Judy MuddLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Judy Mudd presents an arched doorway in Venice in a detailed impressionistic rendering. Part of her Urban collection pays homage to diverse cultural architecture. She draws enthrallment from the exquisite and cool colors of Italian design. "I wanted to capture the beauty of the accumulation of colors and the patina of the crumbling building before it is lost to history," shares Judy.About the Artist
For Judy Mudd, creating a work of art means much more than simply reproducing something she sees. “It is more than painting a subject, it is expressing a feeling,†she explains. Judy develops her paintings with thorough reconnaissance work. She goes out on photo shoots in a variety of atmospheric conditions, sketches outdoors, takes notes, and completes color and value studies. From there, back in the studio, she lets the paintbrush guide her. In addition to being a full-time artist, Judy also conducts painting workshops and classesWords that describe this painting: watercolor, paper, Italy, architecture, door, Venice, facade, travel, Europe, windows, canal, water, travel, arch, architecture, impressionism, travel, watercolor painting, beige
