24 Solar Terms – Lesser Cold
This painting is one in the series "24 Solar Terms". Based on traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. Lesser Cold is the 23rd solar terms of the year. It occurs around January 5th. (Chinese new year usually falls in late January or early February. So January is the end of the year in Chinese Calendar) This is the first painting I’ve done in this series. Lesser cold is a transition period. Although it’s still in winter, the signs of spring start to show – the deeper ice in the raver start to melt; magpies start to build nest for the next generation of baby birds. The old lady in this painting symbolizes the winter, and the young lady spring. Original painting is not for sale right now. Fine art prints (13"x 18") $35 Pick up in Santa Clara. Shipping available

Yuting Wang
Yuting is a watercolor artist specialize in portrait and figure paintings. She was born and grew up in Beijing, China. She lived and studied in Israel for four years before she came to the United States in 2014.
Yuting’s artistic style is shaped by her multi-cultural background. As a child, she learned traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. Later on she was trained in various ateliers for realistic sketching and oil painting. She thinks of her art as an alchemy of the east and west aesthetics. Her works combine the best of the two by balancing between the abstract and the realistic, the imaginative and the visible. Her paintings create an ethereal and dreamy world that’s rooted in the tangible, just as she intends her paintings to be a reflection of both the objective and subjective reality.
While she mainly uses western watercolor paper and brushes, she also incorporate traditional Chinese and Japanese brushes to create interesting textures. She would love to talk more about her techniques and do short demonstrations if the visitors are interested in learning more her process.
Her most recent body of work is a series of paintings based on the twenty-four solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar. The idea of this series originated from her own journey of finding harmony in the mind and body, and reconnecting to the rhythm of nature. She hopes her work can inspire and encourage others to explore the same.
