Especially in terms of freehand flower and bird painting, there are very few people who paint well, it is not easy to play out from tradition, it is very difficult, many painters are exploring, everyone feels that there should be good freehand flower and bird painters, Mr. Gu Baoyu is one of the best, I congratulate him. ”

His paintings are particularly prominent in the strength of the brush, calm and old spicy; rather astringent than slippery, rather stagnant than floating; thick and flexible, quite the lean of the freehand tradition. ”
