Inscription: 一夜秋雨，二零二六年戏笔作于南加画室。-- Titled as “One Night of Autumn Rain”. Playfully brushed in the Southern California studio · 2026

This is a painting about the morning after. The rain has passed, and everything it touched has been made more vivid — red maples blazing, ginkgo leaves scattered across the water in drifts of gold, pine branches still heavy with the memory of a night's weather.

The fallen leaves are the painting's most distinctive gesture — small, precise triangular marks drifting across the lower half with joyful abandon, mid-fall, already landed, carried by a current that hasn't quite stopped.

The brushwork shifts confidently throughout — fluid, sinuous lines trace the warm ochre pine trunks, while rough, dragged strokes give the cliff face its weight and texture. A waterfall cuts through the gray rock behind, the one element the rain has only made stronger — and the whole painting carries that same energy, loose and alive, exactly as the inscription promises.

一夜秋雨

这是一幅描绘雨后清晨的画作。秋雨已歇，经雨洗礼，万物愈加鲜明——红枫如火，银杏叶化作金色散落水面，松枝犹带一夜风雨的记忆。

落叶是此画最独特的笔意——以细小精准的三角形笔触点就，漫散于画面下半部，或正飘落，或已着地，或随未尽的水流漂移，细细品味，别有意趣。

笔法自信多变——流畅婉转的线条勾勒出赭红松干，粗犷拖曳的皴笔赋予崖壁厚重质感。瀑布从灰岩中破壁而出，是画中因雨愈盛之景——而整幅画亦携带着同样的气息，松动而鲜活，正如题识所言。
