The Chinese ancient art and literature theory asked the artists and litterateurs to travel 10,000 miles road and to read 10,000 books. I do agree with it and I do feel that the traveling and reading is something best to help artists to improve their level not only on theory but also on skill. :-)
Also, I do think that maybe the traveling is more important to an artist. :-)
I have been to more than 10 countries since 1997. But, what I paid more attention to was the human civilization before 2003, such as architectures, paintings, religions and so on. Since I started to learn to paint in 2003, I paid more attention to the nature things, a flower, a bird and so on. Anyway, last year, I started to learn to paint landscape with Chinese Xieyi Style, to paint a landscape with brush and colors directly; that really made me to pay attention to the nature view more and more... :-)
Compare with past traveling, I do feel that this traveling this July is helping me to enlarge my eye view from a flower and a bird into a bigger room ? the sky, river, snow mountains, grassland are attracting me more and more... Along with the traveling and the time, I do feel that I have not very cared for the little things in the human society more and more and I do feel that I should make more of my limited energy on enjoying the beautiful in the great nature more and to find why it is beautiful and what is making it so beautiful?
I created this picture after I came back from Shangrila. I thought of it ok Monday night and I painted it Tuesday and Wednesday night. I tried to use green and red at the same picture for I did have seen them in my traveling and I did want to express the beauty of the great nature in my mind and imagination. Meanwhile, I created it to match a classical Chinese poem.
My teacher has not offered me a lesson for two weeks. So, I have not known how many marks of my last two pictures will get yet. :-)
What is your opinion about this picture? Do you enjoy it?
