A wordless conversation with wildflowers.

The scale of large things and our existential dread next to them.

I saw a waterhen today on a rare morning walk. And I'm procrastinating throwing away an unripe watermelon.

Painting of a Pink Lady's Slipper orchid done in the Chinese gongbi watercolor style photographed with Chinese brushes, an inkwell, a stone seal and porcelain container of seal ink.

Returning to my roots, a Pink Lady's Slipper in the Chinese gongbi watercolor style on rice paper. I decided to show it with some of my tools: a stone seal and ink, bamboo brushes, and my Chinese inkwell.

An Album of Chinese Flora 🪷

Reached into the public domain to find this gorgeous collection of floral art. So I bound it into a book. Gonna be a gift for my plant science nerd of a friend.

🌸 Golden Blossom Symphony 🐦

Elegant birds perched on blooming branches against luxurious gold background. Peach blossoms and butterflies create a harmonious spring celebration.✨

Felini pondered the mountain majesty when a crimson dragon appeared, eager to share thoughts on sunlit naps. Despite initial alarm, Felini delighted in their philosophical chats and playful head-butts. Befriending a dragon seemed whimsically enriching. #WatercolorArt #ChinesePainting #DragonCat

The water holds its breath, still as memory.
Houses lean into the mist like secrets half-remembered.

Left vertical column (large characters): 直燃船 Literal translation: “Straight-burning vessel” (likely poetic or idiomatic — could mean “pure, unwavering journey” depending on context). Left vertical column (small characters under the large ones): 我折肱方為御 蛟共翦日昭 團羽未臨宗 天涼風喜曉 Translation: “I break my arm only to master the reins, Cutting the sun alongside the dragon. Feathers gathered before the ancestral hall, The cool wind delights at dawn.” Right vertical column: 陸重襄震恩馭鷹觀 飛爪花香逐雨同 Translation: “Lu Zhongxiang, with mighty grace, tames the falcon’s flight, Claws in the scent of flowers, chasing the rain together.” A white gyrfalcon with immaculate plumage perched atop an aged, gnarled tree trunk, surrounded by enormous peonies in deep crimson and ivory, each petal rendered with intricate realism and subtle translucence. A teal ceramic vase with delicate gold leaf vine patterns rests below, scattered with dried roots and weathered stones. The backdrop is a muted green silk canvas adorned with vertical Chinese calligraphy in gold ink, paired with red wax seals. Lighting is soft, diffused, as if through overcast skies, bringing out the feather texture and porcelain sheen, with a shallow depth of field isolating the falcon and flowers. 85mm lens, f/4, cinematic composition, ultra-detailed, museum-grade realism.

In my blog's Art Theory section, I've collected essays that analyze these various aspects. A deep dive for anyone curious about the concepts behind the brushstrokes.

A sumi-e like painting in a sketchbook. A bonsai in a planter with vague clouds of leaves and pink flowers. A grey branch streaks across the frame with the word 'Perspective' written above it.

We can only hope to find some semblance of objectivity by showing compassion towards as many perspectives as possible.

A sumi-e like painting. A grumpy looking frog sitting before green grass with pink flowers. It is surrounded by water. A red ensō in the background, like a rising sun.

Another grumpy frog.

#sumie #chinesepainting #digitalart #frog #inkart #enso #meditativeart

A sumi-e like artwork. A frog, caricature-like, is sitting in grass with a puzzled, almost-irritated, look. Dragonflies are actively flying about and around it. A red sun in the form of an enso is rising behind the frog.

It is already another bloody sunrise, is it?

I've been playing with my Chinese inks and xuan paper again! It ain't much but I've painted a little bird. That's honest work in my books 😅
