早春圖之四 Mountain in Early Spring 4


One unique feature of Guo's landscape painting, as I quickly found out, is his drawings of so many pine trees--some near, some halfway up the cliff, some on the very top of the mountain, to the right and to the left, here and there. It has become such a challenge to draw them and give them life. Sometime along the way I felt so frustrated and almost to the point of giving up the whole project. Alas, I chose to go on a little bit to see if I could repair a little of my sense of hopelessness.
