鄭午昌 秋水澄空

款識：
天末起涼風，雲氣悤悤。如今何處有英雄，獨佩一壺溪上去，秋水澄空。絕壁聳雲中，倒掛青松。醉歌漢殿與秦宮，日現山西留不住，目送飛鴻。
己卯。鄭午昌。

註：鄭午昌作畫，精於用色，縱使畫中千姿萬采，皆協洽和諧，無燦爛眩目之惡，一派清朗秀逸。本幅充份顯示他對青綠法掌握運用之嫻熟，除間以赭石及淡墨，餘皆滿紙青綠濃淡輕重所構成。色差距離並不顯著，惟變化幽微，但陰陽向背、凹凸之立體效果畢現。在與赭墨混融而生的山體質感外，復呈山色蒼翠，一片平淡天真。

畫中造境亟見用心，山巒高低起伏，前遮後叠，恍如封閉之勢，驟見狹窄水道貫通，孤舟獨泛；瀑流呈一波三折狀，自層岩縫隙間迂迴瀉下。透過水道，瀑泉穿插，在緊湊的構圖中釋出一道呼吸空間，令視覺上達至平衡。
