BR 2-04: The Dragon Painter

"They flew higher and higher, until they disappeared into the clouds."

I read this book for the first time. I think this story is look like a story of a proverb, "Garyoutensei" in Japanese. This proverb came from China. The mean is the finishing strokes. Maybe, the book refers to the proverb. Main character in this book is Chang who is good at painting. I like a scene when two dragons which he painted flew away into cloud sky. I think he can put lives into his paints when he draw imaginary creatures. Therefore, he didn't draw eyes of dragons until last. He is a sad person because he can't draw imaginary creatures perfectly. If he draw perfectly, the imaginary creatures would start living.
