Tranquility

This painting shows the Dinghu Mountain & Lake in Zhaoqing of China’s Guangdong Province. The scenic ambiance made up of different hues of green bathed by sunlight rendered this place a popular tourist place. 

I added birds resting in the trees and white herons in flight to give life to the painting. 

The poem describing tranquility accompanies the painting.

Tranquility

Place called tranquility

Distant from the city

Created by nature 

Few left for the future

Tranquility you find

Colours that soothe your mind

Birds singing and calling

Foliage gently swaying

Come be part of this world

Off from life’s frantic hold

When ready you can leave

Your mind feeling relieved
