Bindweed, dodder 

"Bindweed, Dodder" is a classic example of the work of renowned Chinese painter Qi Baishi, known for his masterful ink and wash technique. Baishi was particularly fond of depicting flora and fauna, and this painting captures the delicate beauty of bindweed with a few strokes of his brush. The contrasting colors of the red flower against the simple white background highlight the bindweed's graceful form, showcasing Baishi's ability to convey life with minimal detail. While seemingly effortless, the piece reflects his lifetime dedicated to perfecting his art.
