Four local brush painters, Diana Chien, Victor Chien, Patricia J. Machmiller and Yu Chun Hui, will display artwork Thursday through June 30 at Main Street Cafe & Books.
The works are rooted in traditional Chinese brush painting with an added Western slant.
For example, among the plum blossoms and loquats is a sunflower.
The landscapes take on the freedom and brightness of splashed color, a technique learned from the renown Pei-Jen Hau of Los Altos, who has an exhibit currently at Mountain View City Hall.
A reception for the artists will be held 5-6:30 p.m., June 23. Patricia J. Machmiller and Fay Aoyagi will recite haiku.
Haiku are unrhymed, three-line poems often on a subject in nature.
