Many people say that children's painting is imaginative, they have not received too much professional training, and they do not have too many rules and regulations.

Their paintings, naïve and rambunctious, are incomparable to many professional painters, and even many great painters often learn children's painting methods after the technique is mature, in order to pursue ancient humility, thus forming a clumsy and simple style.

Today we look at a group of "children's paintings", which are not from children, but by a 72-year-old grandmother in Xiangfen, Shanxi.

Her name is Chen Lianying, and her father likes calligraphy and painting, and it is precisely this subtle influence that the seeds of painting are planted in Chen Lianying's heart.

But her whole life did not have much to do with painting, but was busy with various tasks. It wasn't until 2008 that she began to learn calligraphy, and in 2009, she slowly began to have her own paintings.

Her paintings integrate the folk operas, face sculptures, shrines, prints, paper cuts, cloth curtains, and paintings on furniture in Jinnan, Shanxi, and the subjects she paints are mostly gods and ghosts, imaginative things, of course, there are some like the Dream of the Red Chamber series, Confucius Sacred Relics Group Pictures, Three Kingdoms Group Paintings and so on.

The picture is rich in color, ink is dripping, the image is simple and clumsy, and the narrative is very strong. Although the image of the gods and ghosts in his pen is not beautiful, but there is no lack of humor and fun, it is difficult to imagine that this fantastic, talented, amazing painting is from the hand of an old grandmother who is more than an old woman, and perhaps some things are innate!

Chen Lianying: "I am immersed in the world I depict, there is the bitterness of childhood, the remembrance of my fathers, the admiration of ancient sages, the myths and legends full of dreams, looking at my own paintings, sometimes I don't feel that I painted them myself, others are incredible, I am incredible, there is divine help, hahaha!" It's fun to draw! ”
