Amidst the Hidden Cloud Peaks

This work was inspired by sketches made at Qinglong Temple in the native village of Guizhou. Using a delicate shallow rouge palette, the artist renders clouds and mist in soft, diffuse washes. The ancient temple emerges subtly amid the folds of the mountain peaks, its stone steps, venerable trees, and sweeping eaves interplaying in shifting rhythms. The composition conveys a sense of movement and repose, evoking the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the sacred space.
