Seeking the Way on Cold Mountain

Ink on paper

Seeking the Way on Cold Mountain, full view
Pale ink for snow on Cold Mountain, an old man walking alone in search of the Way — after the line “walking on to where the water ends”.

Snow on Cold Mountain; an old man trails his staff alone, a steep cliff ahead and sparse woods behind. Pale accumulated washes build the sense of snow — and the unpainted white is the light of the sky.
