Description
Professor Li Hongzhao's "Narcissus" is depicted in ink wash, capturing the flower's freshness and elegance. In the painting, the petals and leaves of the narcissus are outlined with delicate lines and soft shades of ink, revealing a beauty that is effortless and casual. The inscription "Sometimes also pretending to be foreign garlic" is a humorous nod to the physical resemblance between narcissus and certain types of garlic (onions), reflecting Professor Li's unique observation of the beauty in nature and the humor in life. The work, with its simple style and subtle depth, showcases the artist's profound appreciation of the natural world.
