I created this series of plein air paintings in the in Changxi, a small village in the Yellow Mountains of Anhui Province, China in 2012. I went with three other artists and stayed in a farmer's house for about a month and painted many landscape.
I made this trip in the tradition of ancient Chinese painters who would travel from place to plae through the mountains creating their art.
In China we believe that knowledge comes not from just reading books, but from travelling and experiencing the world's beauty.
