下面是幾張畫，看看吧。

 cuisine and politeness

the ornaments are derived from Chinese and Indian culture. 

裝飾圖樣是源於中國和印度文化。

la primavera

Tiger is a symbol of courage in Chinese culture, 

often used to protect children from danger and illness.

Tiger-head shoes and Tiger-head hats, for example.

在中國文化裡，虎是勇氣的象徵，

時常用在保護稚兒遠離疾病和危險上。

如虎頭鞋虎頭帽等。

The luncheon(inspired by Maugham)

I used this Argentine horned frog as a metaphor,

to describe the "civiled" lady who behaved differently in The luncheon.

  Argentine horned frog can eat as huge as itself.
我用南美鐘角蛙，
這個能夠吃下牠同類般大小的肉食動物，
作為一個「有教養的」淑女在午餐這篇文章中舉止大相逕庭的暗喻。

A room with a view

Red poppies in the erba,

indeed it's one of the classic scene in the movie"A room with a view".

茵草中的紅罌粟花，

確實是《窗外有藍天》電影中的經典畫面。

Asparagus with Robert Frost

The Riot of Spring is a great dance, sounds marvelous as well.

And so does Robert Frost.

The reasons I love his poem are the same as Hermann Hesse's.

why, so peaceful and grace!

Let me write down the poem on the painting in here for you:

Oh, give me pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away 

as the uncertain harvest:

Keep us here, all simply in the springing of the year. 

the gleam of spring, isn't is?

春之祭是齣好舞蹈作品，聽起來也是如此絕美。

Robert Frost也是一樣。

我喜歡他的詩的理由和喜歡赫曼赫塞的相同，

那麼和平和優雅!

讓我節錄寫在畫上的詩給你：

哦，請在此刻賜我花中的歡愉；

別讓我們的思緒飄得那麼遙遠。如同思索未知的收獲：

讓我們停駐此刻，全神地只在這一年的春意盎然。

(參照翻譯兼或自譯)

難道不是嗎？這閃著光翳的春天。

【Made to order】forever young

This one was made to order gift card for a retired teacher.

I wrote down the lyrics from Bob Dylan's "Forever young".

(Of course, better sang by Joan Beaz...)

About the meaning,

To me, tree is the creature with wisdom,

it improves daily, indefatigably, 

and also knows how to make a choice in a dilemma:

the choice of keeping it or letting it go.

這是給一個退休老師訂做的禮物卡。

我寫了一段從Bob Dylan'的Forever young裡的歌詞，

(當然Joan Beaz唱得好聽多了...)

關於深意，

對我來說，樹是一個有智慧的生物，

它每天不屈不撓地成長，

也知道如何在兩難中作出留下或者放手的決定。

Ornament of life

全身照 full size

細部 detail

Inspired by Owen Jones' greatest book: "Grammar of Ornament" 

Marvelous masterpiece!!

version of 1865 was definitely better than the following printed version.

I am still learning how to make the ornament like our ancestors.

 How the people lived in desert made such gorgeous patterns?

Not to mention some of them were travel around, never settling down.

靈感來自Owen Jones棒極了的書。

完美的傑作！

1865的版本絕對是比之後印刷的品質要好很多。

我仍然在學習如何像我們的祖先一樣繪製裝飾圖紋。

住在沙漠的人如何作出這樣繁複燦爛的圖樣？

更不用提有些人還是遊牧民族，從沒定居的。

Original painting Carpe diem

This painting finished in an amazing fast 2 hours.

When I prepared to apply for college,

portfolio needed more paintings in a 

very short time.

So I was forced to draw quickly,

I miss the period!

這張畫完成的時間是神奇一般迅速的二個小時。

當我準備申請大學時，

作品集需要短時間內集結很多幅畫。

所以我被逼得畫很快，

我真是懷念那段時光啊！

Original painting Fish

I told you that I enjoy drawing animals!

Fish occurred in my paintings all the time, 

swimming in the air or light was the most frequent idea.

"Light is like water" by Marquez is one of my favorite novel.

告訴過你我很愛畫動物啦!

魚常常出現在我的作品中，

在空氣中、光中泅泳是最常見的點子。

馬奎斯的《流光似水》是我很喜歡的小說之一。
