I'd like to know more about this artist and the painting that you posted but can't find anything under "Hua Zhang" or "Qingcheng Shiweng".

Here is his personal information (in Chinese) [link](//61.134.53.202:81/refbook/detail.aspx?recid=R2006050480002704&db=CRFD). And this is his another piece of work (in an auction site).[link](http://haohan.69ys.com/pre/detail/164707#anchor)

I was successful at opening up the auction link but not the biography link. It appears that his work is confined locally and is not very well known, averaging from $300 to $500. Thanks to all of the Forum contributors for your help especially Kai.
