Among the paintings I acquired from Chinese artist Luo Hong are scenes of rivers, mountains, and lakes in different parts of China. Please enjoy a painting and a photo of the Yellow Mountain lookout point, where visitors can enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of unique and majestic pine trees growing out of cracks in the mountain rocks and unusual-looking rock formations and mountain peaks while standing at the Observation Deck. I am glad to have climbed up to the top of Yellow Mountain before the cable car transportation system was installed when I visited China before commercial tours were available.
Another painting shows a lone vessel on the river flowing through the Three Gorges of China. I had travelled through the 3 Gorges in both directions on separate trips before the dam was built and took one more cruise after the dam was completed.
