You can feel ink wash in every stroke. Do not miss hazy temple, or distant stone steps tucked nearby. The painter adds blossoming branch in bloom and trees in soft focus for good measure. The blossoming branch is a symbol of spring renewal, a meaning every viewer would have known. The format is the classic one: image above, mounting below and above. The brushwork holds up beautifully at close range. It is easy to picture this above a mantel or a reading chair.
