it's a real pity that only such small details from Li are available online; the larger stuff is really arresting--especially bird portraits. Lingnan painters seem to be in love with birds.

I hear it! I've been a fan for some time, but it only dawned on me when reading this page that it's a specific school of painting. Thanks, madmouth. :-)
