Chinatown Market, San Francisco, 1878
by Mian Situ
“This is a typical Chinese market in old Chinatown, right here
in America. In a market like this, one could find the ingredients
for the same food they ate in China and prepare it in exactly the
same way,” says artist Mian Situ.“The market looked very
similar to those in my childhood hometown in Southern China, where
I was often sent on errands, so this painting was inspired by both
personal childhood memories and late-19th century photographs of
San Francisco.
There’s no better time than right now to begin collecting Mian
Situ’s Fine Art Limited Editions. Art of theWest magazine

Market, San Francisco, 1878 sold for $179,200 at the 2007 Jackson
Hole Art Auction, nearly $90,000 above the highest estimated price.This
exquisite Fine Art Limited Edition, signed by Mian Situ, and in
an edition of only 50, is sure to quickly disappear.

Feeding the Geese
by Mian Situ
“Growing up on the farm,” says Morgan Weistling,“I
loved to feed the animals. This painting brings back childhood memories
of my two sisters and myself. “I love to paint geese because
their natural design is so decorative. I named each goose as I painted
it—I had Daisy, Lobelia, Bungo, Pippin, Eleanor and Hamfast—and
had some fun painting Bingo, the lone duck, peering out at the
viewer.”
Morgan was recently featured in Western Art Collector Magazine
in an article that declared,“…he can paint any subject
matter—still life, landscape or figurative work. His painterly
style, control of light and color values are outstanding.”
Weistling was also heralded as an “heir apparent” to
modern Western masters Howard Terpning and Mian Situ in Art of the West
Magazine’s 20th Anniversary issue.
