Stoke the Line


While looking at
Old Tree and Horses in The Art of Book of Chinese Paintings, I recognised the horse. Well, I have drawn some of them which resemble cattle and beasts of burden. Ming Deng, the author of the book thinks its 'Zhao Mengfu's confidence in his painting skills shows in his willingness to use very simple lines to depict horses at difficult angles.'
These horses are from a picture in Rita Mae Brown's 'Animal Magnetism' book.
