People say the setting sun marks the edge of the sky,
I look towards the edge of the sky, but cannot see my home.
Now I hate the blue mountain which parts us from each other,
The blue mountain still is covered by evening cloud…LiBai
As the year draws to a close a feeling of melancholy permeates the air…winter’s cold sets in and a killing frost comes overnight…through the branches of the old apple tree the hills seem suspended in the milky sunset…
A Chinese Brush Painting….Watercolour on Arches Not Paper

autumn, fall, cpb, chinese brush painting, oriental paintings, abstract, ink, watercolour, janis zroback, trees, forest, blue, winter
I paint in many different styles and feature a myriad of subject matter, which I show as individual collections….
I am inspired by the world interpreting it in brilliant colours, often influenced by the writings of famous authors and poets..

I love this one so much Janis……I had wanted to tell you that I REALLY wanted to do your piece in the last workshop. But I had not time at all for painting. I hate when I can’t paint. It just aches. But you are in the show and with several lovely translations. So glad to see.
This has such a wonderful feel of chill, as if the grasses have deep frost and are reaching out to find the sun. Wonderful color amidst all that gray.
Thank you so much for this lovely compliment Elizabeth…I really appreciate it…
I am happy for you to do a translation of my painting outside Sojie…let me know if and when you are up for that…
