The picture shows a goshawk on the top of an independent rock. Two flying bees attracted its attention. The magpie on the side took the opportunity to fly away. The author’s pen is thick and broad, and is full of simple and elegant ink. Lv Ji’s flower and bird paintings not only pursue similarity in shape, but also are good at expressing the relationship between birds, capturing the instantaneous look and momentum of birds, creating a sense of urgency and explosive force, breaking through the aesthetic decoration of traditional flower and bird paintings, thus gaining new artistic vitality.
