Artist: Dong Shaoliang 
 
Artist's reflection: Unlike some of Dong's other artworks, the background and foreground of this piece seem to transition smoothly from one to the other. As a master artist, he is able to do this through the right color selection and brush stroke skills.
 
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.
