Fun at the Wild Field

This work continues the tradition of Japanese colonial-period?"xiesheng寫生"?(freehand painting from life), integrating the use of watercolors and breaking away from?"gongbi 工筆," a traditional Chinese painting method characterized by painstaking brushwork and meticulous attention to detail. The artist used light, elegant colors and black ink to frame the scene: Wild roses bloom amid slender blades of wild grass and green bamboo; a white lamb gambols through the growth, startling a pair of sparrows into flight, a lovely, vivid scene. The upper part of the picture is empty, imparting a sense of spaciousness, giving the picture a light, easy feel, an air of pastoral simplicity. and innocence.
