江南雲開盡朝暉

Sailing Out of the Cloudy Gorge

This is the roughly translated title of the painting.

You can see the silhouette of a couple little boats very far off in the distance as they are about to emerge from the cloudy/foggy background. You'll also see a little lonely house on the bluffs of the gorge.
If you have ever visited the Three Gorges along the Yangtze River, this scene might seem familiar to you.


About the artist and artwork

This was painted by 樂然 (Le Ran) who is obviously a talented artist. The artist's signature is very stylized, and I couldn't read it, so I asked the artist what printed Chinese characters corresponded with the pronunciation this surname - those are the characters that you see at the beginning of this paragraph.

This is painted on xuan paper (rice paper) with a silk matting/border. Painted with special Chinese black ink and water color.
