Tranquility in the Moonlight Painting

Hush now, careful not to disturb the falling snow... Let time stand still, even just for a short while... The red plum blossoms contrasting the stillness, however, provides us with a much different virtual stimulation, it is vibrant, it is alive, and it is full of hope. Under the moonlight, the red and the bluish white get coordinated, harmonised, and romanticised. However, this painting has a clarity in the mind, it feels that it is leading us to a purposeful destination. What is that destination? Each one of us has a different answer. Painted over delicate rice paper (with pearl shine) and hand-mounted after finishing (to enhance the durability of the paper), it can be displayed with ease in a frame. This painting technique is called Gongbi, an ancient oriental painting style dating back 2,000 years. The completion of this piece took over 25 hours; the mounting is a 24-hour process. Isn't it true though, with our minds clear, our paths become clearer in front of us?
