'Jian Fung'
23"x 12" oil on canvas 2006

Jian Fung is a friend to be both interesting and handsome and asked him if I could do a painting. I also asked if he would write something in Chinese for me on the painting. This is what the story translates to in English. (Ms Yvonne paints in a warmer autumn, it makes me think and sigh. At this end of the earth, I have achieved nothing but some unrealistic dreams while time passes quickly. I do not know when I will be able to go back to Changan.)
