This is a vertical oil painting concept creation that incorporates the techniques for depicting natural environments found in traditional Chinese ink wash paintings, while the texture of the material mimics that of Western Renaissance oil paintings. The purpose is to express the flexible integration and unity of Eastern and Western artistic and cultural techniques in the expression of art. It also implies on a deeper level that one should not be confined to rigid forms of expression; as long as the Tao behind the things is understood, there are various methods that lead to the same destination. The sun in the painting, along with the dynamic white birds illuminated by the sun, aim to convey that the Tao is always present, but those seeking the Tao need to use serendipitous opportunities (in this case, the birds flying past) to sense and awaken to the existence and revelation of the Tao.
