Sharing the most inspirational art I can find on the web!

Title: Calligraphy in Cursive Script

Date: 1922

Artist: Shen Zengzhi (1850-1922)

Type of art: drawing, ink in paper

Note: This is a poem. Translation:

I think of flower petals falling into the clear water of the river, 
Lingering there in the east as if there was all the time in the world. 
The river becomes excited. 
At nightfall the ducks return. 
There's a ferryman's boat in the vast landscape, 
As the sun descends behind autumn hills. 
Far away, in the dusk, boats are sailing. 
I return home, relaxed and content.

Note: [Signature] Meishou; [Date] 7th month of the renxu year (1922); [Seal] two seals of the artist: Zeng Zhi yin, Hai Ri Lou
