The green spreads out over the vast open space, and twirls on the tree trunks into feathery branches. Light yellow, emerald, murky, cheerful, and a complex mix of shades of green form a majestic suite of vibrant colors. The houses in the distance are adorned with various shades of green, like hidden gems in the painting, shimmering with a glimmer of light. The waves of green connect with the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon. Looking at the scenery of his hometown, Chen Cheng-po has unfolded his heartfelt feelings into a beautiful picture of splendor and joy.
