art, music, Piano, life, culture, painting, China

It's a Chinese painting, a cowherd boy with a flute on a water buffalo. See how it uses empty space to depict. It's a classical technique of traditional Chinese painting.

Hi Idon'tknow,

That's a funny name you got there. I should have stated more clearly -- it was a water buffalo. I am glad you like it.

Welcome, agreed, it's also very simple. Is Christmas a public holiday in Hongkong? If so, have a good one.
