The Taiwan cotton-rose is nicknamed "the beauty with a thousand faces". These slightly bell-shaped blossoms will change color with the changing of the sunlight. They are dainty and beautiful flowers. This artist created the warm and brilliant watercolor contours, then applied color to the blossoms. The leaves are spread out among the flowers enhancing the fullness and richness of this scene. Romantic pink and purple hues add to the bright beauty. This work incorporates Western-style oil painting composition, while preserving the graceful quality and gentle lines of watercolor. It is an enchanting work.
In this painting, Taiwan Cotton-Rose, he put in much time and effort in terms of creating the background color and mood, revealing the artist's conception of beauty when depicting scenes from nature.
