I love how in chinese and japanese art that you don't have to analyze every little symbol and detail. like seriously some of those other pieces were driving me crazy trying to find all the symbols and interpret them. Don't get me wrong at first it was kinda fun like I Spy and interesting, but it got old after a while. But in this art you dont have to think about any of that, you get to enjoy the painting for what it is. this piece puts me at peace literally and i can just stare at it for hours and wont get sick of it. with this i can breathe, relax, and take it all in.

I agree, though I didn't really enjoy looking for the symbols in the first place. With any piece I like to just look at it and take it in for what it is; take it for face value, so to speak... er... type... um... whatever...

These pieces are much more simplistic, yet simultaneously show a lot more. The blank areas in this piece, for example, look like clouds or fog in some areas and water in others.
I appreciate this piece as well for the same reasons - peaceful and idyllic. But what do you like about it other than you don't have to think?
