The Painting of Duck Bathing in Peach Pond was painted by Hua Yan when he was 61 years old. In the picture, on the branches of the winding peach tree, the pink peach flowers look like beautiful flowers. Three or two willows with young leaves hang down on the clear and bottomed pool. The willow tips swaying with the wind constantly touch the water and cause ripples, attracting the wild ducks in the pool to look back. This picture is drawn by Hua Yan with his unique small freehand brushwork. Although the peach blossom, willow and the grass on the bank are concise, the colors are appropriate, and the strokes are relaxed and relaxed, so that the thick spring flavor is straight to the human face. The performance of the wild duck feathers and the subtle gestures reflects that the painter is good at capturing the natural interests in nature, and can skillfully arrange them in the middle of the work, giving a fresh and pleasing feeling
Hua Yan’s flower and bird paintings were influenced by Chen Chun, Zhou Zhimian and Yun Shouping in the early Qing Dynasty. They also incorporated the strengths of various families and formed their own style. In his creation, he pays attention to both sketching from life and novel composition, vivid image and suitable color, which is bright and beautiful. At that time, people commented on him as “natural and interesting”, “innovative and innovative”, and “driving Nantian (Yun Shouping) side by side, surpassing his peers”, which was really not a compliment.
