Exposition：

"Lunar Eclipse No.42" belongs to the space painting series; the lower half of the moon is an eclipse, presenting the surface texture with big stroke. The wrinkly lower part of the canvas represents the beauty of the canyons. Feelings were inspired by the natural beauty and looking beyond the horizon to a myriad of vision, imaginative poems and ethereal illusion, as if you were from another world. The universe is a mystical and quiet place, and tranquility is the featuring style of the period.
