SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Lian Zhen

Lian My name is Zhenlian, I am an artist from China. I was graduated from Teachers Training College in Hong Kong as a qualified art teacher in 1969. Since then I had worked as art teacher in both Primary and Secondary schools in China. From 1976 to 1988, I stayed in Paris. I intended to enter an Art College in Paris, for some personal reasons I had not been able to enter any Art College, but I had gained recognitions from several French Art Institutions. I have retired from my work since 2002, since then I have devoted myself to painting. I like to experiment with new medias which I have not had much experience before, such as acrylic and Chinese paintings.I am fired with inspiration in whatever I paint, in fact, I am more inspired now than when I was young.

Welcome to Elfwood! I think that your idea of portraying mermaids with cats is quite novel and charming.

Hello there!
i really like your coloring skills! (you make your waters really mesmerizing)
what do you use? (traditional or digital?)
well if you have time, please stop by my gallery and please leave a comment,,,,,,ma critic i mean.

:-) Lian Zhen replies: "Hi,thank you,
I don’t know digital, I can only paint traditional paintings.
I have seen your works,very good drawings! I wonder what they are like if you can paint them in colors. But they are very good as they are!"

You are a wonderfully talented artist, Lian! My wife Lynn (purple dragoness) and I both really admire your work. What sort of cats do you have? we have a traditional Siamese(not the really skinny ones, the ones called here "Apple heads"12 named Klingon. He escaped the house the other night, since it was cool and he wanted to romp and play outside. We live in the Arizona desert, near a large wildlife preserve, and have many wild animalsin the area, such as coyotes . We were therefore worried and left our doors open so he could come in. Imagine our surprise when at midnight , in strolls a wild pig !(Javelina , or collared peccary) into our kitchen! I chased it out- but our cat didn’t come in till 4 o’clock!1

:-) Lian Zhen replies: "Hi,
Thank you , I am glad that I have found more cat lovers, I have a cat at home, I will upload it here for you to appreciate, my cat is a poet.
I wish I can live in a place like yours with animals around, I see animals only in my imaginations.
Lian"

At least you have your poet kitty, Lian. 1 We do indeed enjoy seeing the wild animals, even if some do get a little TOO close. We have a mountain lion(cougar or puma they are called too) that occasionally jumps up on our roof as a hunting platform to hunt the wild pigs. And once, Lynn had been outside at night and came in with what I thought was a brown hair bow. "where did you get that brown hair bow?" i asked her, and she said "what hair bow?" then it flew from her head- it was a baby bat!
