Basic Traditional Strokes: The Plum Tree, Branch and Blossoms
The third gentleman of Chinese brush painting and Sumi-e is the Plum. It blooms in late winter, thus symbolizing hope and hardiness, someone who can create beauty in the midst of hardship. It is interesting to note that the gnarled and rugged branches are rigid, sharp, even rough, while the blossoms themselves are rounded and soft.
And the books I'm reading say it's really an apricot.Hehe.
