I found this painting hanging in one of the hallways at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago. I have always loved those fabulous lions who stand guard in front of the Art Institute of Chicago so I was drawn to this wonderful painting. The artist is Don Yang and it turns out that he teaches art from his studio in the Fine Arts Building.
Yang was born in Seoul Korea but came to the United States in his teens. After 7 years in the U.S. Army, he pursued his dream of becoming a full time artist.
He has many wonderful paintings on his website.
