Exemplified in this painting,a screen of lotus leaves and flowers in the immediate foreground hides partial sights of the pond.The blurred apprearance of the pond indicated at the far upper right is my intention to express the ambient light refracted from the constructed atmosphere.At the lower right of the composition,where the pond surface lightened with rippling whites demonstrated the shimmering play of light and shadow which were the irradiative effects of the mild autumnal sunshine.
