Painted in mid-summer, White Lotus featured a huge lotus leaf<br />

dominating the whole painting. The method of splash ink was<br />

applied at the center, with a careful treatment of adjacent objects,<br />

highlighting the smothering heat of summer. Using the contrast of<br />

bright white petals against the dominant blue colour of its leaves,<br />

the eye is dragged towards the edges, fully utilising the spaces of the<br />

paintings. Same as the previous paintings, the flowers were carefully<br />

depicted to display their different forms, adding character and<br />

vibrancy to the painting.<br />
