This is an early signed sand texture oil painting (18" x 21"), by Hu Chi Chung (1927-2012), who was reportedly one of Taiwan's top artists before he immigrated to the United States in 1971.

Some of the artists larger paintings were offered by Zantman Art Galleries in Carmel, Ca at more than $7,000 while the artist was still alive. Select works are available as prints.
