Handscroll; Color on paper; 228cm(width)*22cm(height) This painting depicts plums, orchids, dragonflies, birds, lotuses, and other items. It uses brush and ink in fine strokes to sketch flowers, bamboo, and stones. The ink simultaneously oozes joy and skill, neatness and freedom, skill and inspiration, and profundity and innocence. The brushstrokes are easy, alternating between fast and slow, and are rich in variation. Varying shades are used in appropriate degrees.
