Description 归去来兮
乙未年正月初一
默言
Homecoming
year of Yiwei, first month day one.
moyan.

云无心以出岫,鸟倦飞而知还。景翳翳以将入,抚孤松而盘桓。
《归去来兮》,晋朝,陶渊明
Clouds unintentionally leave the caves, birds return when they are tired.
Day ends in gloom as the sun sets, I caress the lone pine and linger.
Gui Qu Lai Xi, Jin dynasty, Tao Yuan Ming.

the painting is referenced off a photo i took of the gulls along the Niagara fall last june. Kisshou watercolor on xuan paper.
the misty and melancholic ambiance reminds me of the essay written by Tao Yuan Ming who expressed his desire to go home after many years of struggle as a court official in the government back then. he longed for his rustic hometown although it was a poor rural village.

by dALinkSystem i recommend seagull by nalanece :


to taste freedom, look at this beautiful watercolor painting.
