Love this big scale and episodic format. |
Free and easy brushwork. This feels so germane in Asia--much more so than in New York. It captivates. |
Beautiful structure in the landscape. |
Black and dilute ink, interwoven together. |
So light and delicate--look at both sides of each tree |
Almost kitsch in its simplicity. Funny, too. |
The Four Gentlemen and more... |
Kou le stroke with chrysanthemum leaf application |
On these chrysanthemums note the variation in ink: black and dry, dilute |
Orchid--almost wipes out on the blossom but the leaves are so free it is balanced |
Plum--great control |
The beautiful big rock with 2 birds |

One of the Eight Eccentrics of Shanghai--these painters are the most interesting |
Color to ink |
Light to dark |
Bamboo |
Plum - takes a lot of work to pull this off |
Sweet nights cape, sky stained from back |
Stylized weirdness and a lovely limpid green tint throughout |
At first, passed it up |
But then this got me. Reminds me of Morris Graves. |
