Winter in Chinese has the connotation of freezing, in a more genteel language we can say that all business has stopped or slowed. The ancients said, “In fall we harvest; in winter we store.” But the word “dong” for winter is also pregnant with the meaning of gathering. The contradictions of life are all present in these seasons. Is there any difference between painting in the winter and painting paintings of winter? Why don’t we let the painting answer that question.
