Sit and Watch the Rising Clouds
"Sit and Watch the Rising Clouds" 坐看雲起時 This is the latest painting in my ink "Flow" series with the clouds being created with free flowing ink on water. It is inspired by an ancient Chinese poem by Wang Wei (699-759). The two phrases I have written on the painting is from the poem: "Having reached the water's edge and there is no more path, just sit and watch the rising clouds" 行到水窮處,坐看雲起時. When faced with adversity and feeling that there is no way out, I often think of these two phrases, then just take a deep breath and see things in a different light. There is always light at the end of the tunnel and rising clouds at the water's edge. Artist: Oi Yee Tai 戴愛兒 http://oystudio.com
