Subject:Watercolors signed Ling - any info on the artist?
Posted By: Vic Sun, Aug 23, 2009 IP: 121.127.214.165

I have a very nice watercolor from 1950's signed ling. I've seen some others of the same artist in the net. Does anyone knows anything about this artist?

I have a watercolor by this same artist. It is lovely and was a gift from someone whose parents were missionaries in China. Anyone else know this artist?

I bought 2 Ling watercolors at a Florida sale about 15 years ago. The artist is still a mystery. Here's a quote from an Australian art website:
"Since these watercolors are available all over the world and signed in English, and date to 1950's-1960's, I suspect they did not come from mainland China, but rather from Hong Kong, Taiwan, or were painted by an overseas Chinese artist."

He was a watercolour painter based in Hong Kong. My grandmother lived there (before and)after the war and bought a number of them there.

Visited Ling's studio probably in early '80s. Can't find picture of him. Studio was in Hong Kong.

A friend bought one recently up in Prescott, AZ and it has a "Gump" sticker on the back. It's a beautiful watercolor...so detailed. If anyone finds more info on Ling, would also love to know.

Thank you very much for your information about the artist Ling and his watercolours. I have wondered many years who Ling is and now I can print your information on the backside of my watercolour signed Ling and the title : Old Hong Kong with a lot of people in the center with two green tramcars!A very nice watercolour which I bought on Tradera.com some years ago.
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
Roger from Sweden
