Green landscapes in China

These paintings are a collection of green landscapes in China selected from my art works (Figures 1-7). The collection demonstrates my focus on lines. Straight or curved lines, which follow silhouettes of the landscapes, are like emotional changes hidden inside a human being—the ups and downs. Inner peace is part of human health. Whenever I am creating an art piece, face to face with nature, I indulge myself in such peaceful circumstances.
