Artist: Dong Shaoliang 
 
Artist's reflection: In this contemporary artwork, Dong purposefully deploys bright and saturated colors in the foreground to create separation from the background colors, which are much more subdued.
 
Dong's contemporary watercolor paintings are mainly based on the natural scenery of the four seasons. Many of his works are created from his travels or daily life. His paintings are simple and generous, but pass on to the viewer unique feelings about the four seasons. It is as if through the paintings the viewer can feel the the comfort and calmness of close contact with nature.
