The Chinese traditional art and literature theory requries artists and litterateurs to travel 10,000 miles and read 10,000 books. I agree with it and I feel the traveling and reading is something best to help artists to improve their level not only on theory but also on skill. :-)
Compair with the both, I feel maybe the traveling is more important. :-)
I have been to America, Australia, Europe and some Asian countries since 1997.
Before 2003, what I paid more attention to see was the human civilization, such as architectures, paintings, religions and so on.
Since 2003, I started to learn to paint, it made me start to pay more attention to the nature things, a flower, a bird and so on.
After 2005 or 2006, I started to learn to paint landscape with Chinese Xieyi Style, to paint a landscape with brush and colors directly; that made me to pay attention to the nature view more and more... :-)
Compare with past traveling, I do feel the traveling July 2007 in Shangrila helped 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 did 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 yunnan. 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.
