冬天的线条

(MS Paint, Mouse Pen, 2007, 418x295 px)

在国内时，从来没有见过大雪盖地景色。第一次看到满世界垲垲白雪，还是在新泽西的第一个冬天。从此有关冬天的印象里，才有了白净的雪，蔚蓝的天，清澈的溪流和树林的明快对比。

不久前在网上看到一幅冬天小溪的照片，觉得好静，好安逸，和自己的印象如此吻合。画时夸张了线条的流动和蓝天在水中的反映，简化了层次。想用线条，把溪水的流畅和轻吟带出来，把观者的心，融进那无底的晶莹透彻中。

Winter‘s Lines and Curves

Growing up in the Southwest of China, I had never seen a fully snow covered nature till my first winter in New Jersey. It was just so beautiful and I could not help throwing myself into the snow again and again.

This drawing was based on a photo seen on the web. Exaggerated layers and the reflection of the sky, simplified curves and forest in the view, I could hear the melody from the trees and fell myself melting away with the creek.

桃花依旧笑春风

今晚美式足球超级杯决赛，有INDIANAPOLIS的COLTS。COLTS和我也算颇有渊源，当然很希望COLTS能赢。一边看球赛，一边在LAPTOP上涂涂画画。不耐室外的严寒，根据文学城茶轩朋友旁白今天贴的一幅春意盎然的照片，用WINDOWS的PAINT画了一张电子画。旁白不但文好，也特具慧眼，拍了很多好照片。一看这张照片，就有想画的感觉。

球赛结束，COLTS果然胜了。涂鸦也完成，愉快！

Smiling in the Spring Breeze

This year's Super Bowl had Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears in the game. Living in Indianapolis, I was certainly on the side of Cots. While watching the game, I did this drawing on MS Paint based on a photo from Pang Bai, a friend from Wenxuecity forum Tea Time. Pang Bai has no only a beautiful writing style, but also bright eyes that have captured many beautiful photos from daily life.

When the game was over, Colts won the game and my drawing was completed too. Cheers!

山水长流

远看大河大山，总容易感动。不一定是为它们的磅礴，也不一定是为它们的永恒，更多的是为它们与时间的那一点点无声缠绵。云起云落中，水流山动， 不为人知的千古时光，好像能跟着这山水，一直流淌进心中。。。

用线条，想画出那种自然永恒的延伸。想用水面天光的层次，传达前浪推后浪的时光更迭。

Rushing with the Time

Spectacular views of stretching mountains, roaring rivers, and trembling plains always touch a chord in my heart, not only by their immense size or long lasting existence, but also by the traces of their endless affair with the time.

The curves of mountains and rivers give us illusion that the world in front of us is rushing forward with full thrust, leaving thousands years and millions of anonymous life behind without any mercy and reluctance.

夏日夕阳

川西平原上的夏日夕阳，总是如歌似醉。

川西夏夜

(MS Paint, Mouse, 1997)

我读高中的时候，中国还没有“打游戏”和“泡妞”一类的词汇。课外时间，我一小半在打球，一小半在郊外写生。所以对川西壩子的感情，还是很深的。

出国后，就再没有见过春天的菜花地，夏天的秧田。偶尔回国，好象也没有在合适的季节。月光倒影、蛙声虫鸣还是只有记忆中才有。

当学生时，有一次在纽约买回几张Meditation CD。以为可以靠技术回归自然。结果发现欺骗自己也不是一件容易的事情。

离开学校后，做白日梦的时间几乎是没有了。偶尔在计算机上涂涂画画，留下些远远的印象，也算是画饼充饥。

这幅画的是川西丘陵常见的夏夜明月。禾田晚风，寂山静水，总是容易让人沉醉。每次看着这样的画面，都能带回不少回忆，觉得虫叫蛙鸣中，月光还停在自己脸上。。。

Summer Moonlight in Sichuan

When I was in high school, China was near the end of its chaos. There was no sight of future education or career for kids like me yet. I spent most of my after school hours either painting or playing basketball. I often wondered around rice fields, small rivers, and short hills in the suburbs of Chengdu alone doing sketches and water colors.

After China came back to its feet, I went to college and later moved to the US. Still afraid of political repercussions, I studied science in college instead of arts. Painting and nature seemed a past story to me.

One day when stroking through a bookstore in New York, I bought some meditation CDs of recorded sounds from the nature: frogs, birds, creeks... I thought it would bring me closer to the part of life that I had missed for so long.

Soon I found the true effect of high tech - they made me feel sorry for myself. I can't remember when the last time was that I was within a picture like this.

I drew this one to capture the moonlight that I used to see a lot in Sichuan. Whenever I look at it, I could hear the sound of the summer night and fell the moonlight's caress over my face again and again.
