Fear

The background of the painting is a vast sky. Master humorously remarked that the flowers in the picture were supposed to be roses. However, after She had been painting for a while, they became different. All the flowers look very tense and astonished. It seems that they are being filled up with the wind. Their eyes and mouths are wide open, as if wondering what is going to happen. Because they have fallen down from the fifth floor, it is hard to tell where they will land.

Master told a funny story concerning this painting. She said a person carried flowers to his lover in the Fifth Realm. Perhaps they had a fight later, and his lover chased him away. Afterwards, this pot of flowers was thrown out of the window.
