Randy W Posted December 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Guess what the red colors are from? Maple? No. Along the Li River there grow quite lots of tallow trees(乌桕树) with their leaves turn red before falling in late fall or early winter. Do you have tallow trees in your place? from China Expedition Tours on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChinaExpedition/posts/4585066891541543 Link to comment

Randy W Posted January 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Artist Wen Wei is noted for her works of classical Chinese mountain-and-water paintings done in xieyi style, ink figure paintings of court ladies and calligraphies in kuangcao (wild cursive) script, which vividly show her gift and hard work over the years. An exhibition held from Jan 1 to Jan 5 at Rongbao Zhai in Beijing shows 60 works by Wen, in which she adopts minimalism and employs carefree strokes to illustrate the essence of her subjects. Wen seeks to convey a philosophical touch, grounded on her extensive reading of classical Chinese texts and journeys to mountains and waters during which she feels connected with ancient art masters. from China Pictorial on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChinaPic/posts/4492804200844934 Link to comment
