A Dry Creek Crosses The Back Wood on its way to The Elk River
The 'dry creek' of late summer has been running full time the last few months, eventually joining up with Piney Creek which is big enough to be on local maps - if one walks out my lane (to the right in the photo) the next 'dry rill' drains into the North East River - the Elk Neck divide so to speak!
Heavy Snow on Mount Guan by Hsu Dao-Ning
Sung
Dynasty painting can be classified into four chronological periods.
The first
period was characterized by realism ( 寫實主義
)
with many landscape paintings drawn out with meticulous and vigorous brushstrokes.
Painters of this period included Lee Cheng, Fan Kuan
(
范寬 ) and Dong Yuan.
Later in the 12th century, Yan Wen-Gui (
燕文貴
), Hsu Dao-Ning (
許道寧
),
Gao Ke-Ming ( 高克明
),
Zhai Yuan-Shen ( 翟院深
), Lee Zong-Cheng (
李宗成 ) and Huang
Huai-Yu ( 黃懷玉
) took over this
tradition, but at the same time animal and flower painting experienced a first
highlight in the painting of Hsu Hsi, Hsu Chong-Si ( 徐崇嗣
) and the two
Huangs. Guo Xi ( 郭熙
),
Zhao Chang ( 趙昌
), Tsui Bai (
崔白 ),
Wu Yuan-Yu ( 吳元瑜
) and Yi
Yuan-Ji ( 易元吉
) perfected these
styles with their pure and soft and refined beauty.
