Red Door - Acrylic Painting - Artist: J. Zhao

The inspiration of this acrylic painting came from the Spanish houses in California. On a visit to Long Beach some years ago, while walking in a neighborhood, I was astonished to see so many stone houses in styles and one of them was a red door, so eye-catching. I just wish I lived in there.

Size: 18 in. x 14 in.

About the Artist: J. Zhao

Art has always been my passion since I can remember, though it took a long time and courage for me to call it a profession. I spent quite some time in school: earned my Ph.D. in education and worked briefly in academia, teaching and doing research.

My new job titles both as an artist and art teacher, however, began when I started homeschooling my kids during pandemic. I like to share my artwork and activities on various social media, and from where I get people interested in buying my art and asking me to be their kids’ art instructor. And that is how I embark on this new chapter of my life, and in a way fulfilling my dream to be an artist.
