In Auspicious Happiness in Superabundance, the wavering dynamics of the fish are strengthened in the creation of the painting. The water waves set off the impression of movement, and a visual effect of the fish cruising and leaping in the water is accomplished. Despite being done in fine brushwork, the painting has the charm of freehand brushwork.
