"Panda" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I am still reaping the benefits of my husbands travels to China. The light captured on these panda photos really appeals to me and I am so drawn to painting them; this is the third painting. There is also the beautiful contrast between what appears to be just black and white, yet is really a gorgeous combination of yellows, browns, purples, and blues.

"At the Panda Preserve" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

My husband recently returned from two weeks in China where he performed and took part in many "Building Bridges" activities with other countries. He was part of a group of people who went with the school district to learn and share different teaching methods with each other. While traveling around, some of the group, including my husband, were lucky enough to travel to the panda preserve and learn about caring for these beautiful animals.
