I have just finished this large painting project on two 91" x 48" large sheets of rice paper with artists Florence Wong and Bill Buchman. My dog Cappy also played an importance part in it as you will see in this clip. The entire video will be available for my online class students. It is a very elevating experience for me and I would also like to share it with my Youtube audience. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
This painting is based on the Song Dynasty Chan Buddhist tales of the Ten Ox Herding Poems.
(三) 見牛:
黃鸝枝上一聲聲,日暖風和岸柳青,
只此更無回避處,森森頭角畫難成。
3. Sighting the Ox
A golden oriole trills on the branch,
The sun is warm, the wind mild, and the lakeside willow green.
Now there is nowhere for the ox to escape!
Yet what artist can paint his majestic head and horns?
(四) 得牛:
竭盡神通獲得渠,心強力壯卒難除,
有時纔到高原上,又入煙雲深處居。
4. Catching the Ox
With extraordinary effort I catch the ox,
Strong of body and spirit, he is not easily subdued.
At times, he scales the lofty plains,
Then hides deep within the cloud-like mist.
Thanks for watching!
Henry
