	Anna Of The Celts During medieval times in the Celtic world, Christianity may have been on the rise but many held onto their beliefs in traditional gods and goddesses. Anna was the figure they looked toward to protect them in battle. She represented loyalty, purity of spirit, and courage of conviction. Battle was often waged by very loyal, bands of knights against marauding invaders, such as the Vikings or Normans. It was believed that those who died valiantly in battle would be escorted by Anna to the next world. A fallen king’s targ (or shield) in hand and claymore (sword) nearby, Anna awaits her new charges.

	Celtic King “In the glint of early dawn, a Celtic King awaits a messenger from the coastal bluffs, bearing what he hopes will be good news,” says Dean. “All people of the shire have been drawn within the castle walls, however, loyal knights are mounted and in ready. A king must be prepared for other possibilities.” Following in the regal footsteps of the recent runaway success with Anna of the Celts, we are pleased to present the perfect companion piece from creator Dean Morrissey. This Celtic King brings a sense pride and dignity to any surrounding. (See options...)


	Chinatown Market, San Francisco, 1878 “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 recently designated Situ one of the “8 True Masters” of today’sWestern art world.The original painting of Chinatown 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.

	Chinese Flower Shop, San Francisco 1904 The titles of several of Situ’s San Francisco Chinatown paintings include the dates 1904, 1905 and 1906. The early 20th century was a pivotal time for this community. Chinatown was a vibrant commercial center where goods and services between the two cultures were exchanged and the success of the Chinese drew some negative attention as well. Anti-Chinese immigration laws had been passed and renewed and in 1904, a publicly traded company was incorporated with the goal of acquiring most of the land in Chinatown and dislocating the residents to an outlying area. This goal seemed easily achievable after the earthquake and fire of 1906. Chinatown was one of the worst hit areas and the Chinese-American businessmen and landlords organized to rebuild quickly. That effort, combined with the recognition of the economic value of Chinatown and international pressure, served to ensure that San Francisco’s Chinese community would stay in the neighborhood they had started back in the Gold Rush days of the mid-19th century. “In this painting I focused on the two Chinese children´s expressions as they encountered an American girl” said the artist. “In my Chinatown scenes, I always try to incorporate an element of cultural crossroads.” (See options...)


	Danu Of The Celts She stands regally, alone in the woods, clad in both chain-mail armor and red robes embellished with gold. The dual nature of her character is evident; she is both sovereign and goddess, mother and warrior, priestess and protectress. She is Danu, the Celtic mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a tribe of gods and demi-gods in pre-Christian Ireland. With Danu of the Celts, artist Dean Morrissey continues his successful series of Celtic figures and subjects, which has previously included The Celtic King, Anna of the Celts, The Voyage of the Fianna and The Piper of Tir n’ Og. Dean Morrissey has captured the fierce independent spirit of the Irish people in Danu of the Celts, making it a beautiful gift for anyone with an interest in Irish or Celtic mythology.

	Everybody Loves A Cowboy There is no more unique an American icon than the cowboy. What child at one point or another has not dreamed of the opportunity to live the life of daring and freedom that the cowboy epitomizes? With the subtlety, elegance and grace of a fine art master, Mian Situ makes an epic statement on the emigrant experience, peeling back the curtain on the process through which cultures blend. The importance of this work was not lost on those that attended the 2004 Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale where it was honored with the Patrons’ Choice Award. Situ is renowned for majestic works of art conveying the Asian-American experience of emigrating and opening a new world. Here we witness the other side of that experience, the assimilation of the American dream. (See options...)

	Journey Of Hope And Prosperity By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Christian missionaries had been in China for several hundred years, which meant that many Chinese immigrants had encountered Christianity before they ever set foot on American soil. Women and children were known as “easy believers” by missionaries and two children devote their attention to the preacher in this image while other Chinese, particularly men, gather above decks to talk and smoke among themselves. The exquisite paintings of award-winning artist Mian Situ provide an evocative window into a point in history when the collision of East and West impacted the future not only for the immigrants, but for both cultures. Journey of Hope and Prosperity is Artist Mian Situ’s third major Chinese immigrant painting portraying the onboard ship experience. (Previous Greenwich Workshop fine art releases The Golden Mountain—Arriving San Francisco and Word of God are both Sold Out at Publisher). Mian Situ will once again show at the Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale, at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles on February 6, 2010. An original painting by Situ recently sold at auction for over $575,000 but with a Greenwich Workshop canvas you can afford to bring home the work of this modern-day master. (See options...)
