Happy Year of the Horse!

2014 is the Year of the Horse. The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, and the start of the year is based on the cycles of the moon, and this year it falls on Friday, January 31, 2014.

Years of the Horse are: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990 and 2002 and 2014.

This is my wild grass calligraphy for the Chinese character, horse.

Chinese writing dates back to over 5000 years ago. Horse is a pictograph. The original oracle bone script is a rough drawing of the horse. It has evolved to the modern day character 馬 but you can still vaguely see in my calligraphy the shape of a galloping horse.

The two sides of me... My sumi paintings are essentially monochromatic. I find boundless freedom in expressing myself through different shades of black, white and grey. I love to use minimal strokes capturing the essence while leaving enough white space for the viewer's imagination. That stems from the Taoist thinking - sometimes not doing anything is action in itself. Like My Facebook Page (Chinese art) My website: http://www.oystudio.com/ (Chinese Art) With acrylic, watercolor and oil, I feel like a 4 year old child rolling on the floor coating myself with all the different colors I love. Unlike my Chinese ink paintings, I fill the canvas with so much color that it might be suffocating for you but I am having so much fun I just want...
