Title: Shirley's Art Works 1559 & Sketch 154 - Jan 13, 2023
Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang
Size: 38cm x 38cm (14.96 inches x 14.96 inches) Chinese Ink on Paper
Completed Time: Jan 13, 2023
Remarks:
This is my 1559th Chinese painting since 2003,the 926th154th Sketch or Painting From the Nature .

This is my 3rd sketch taken on January 13, 2023 at Meiyuan/ Plum Blossom Garden in Wuxi City Jiangsu Province. Sitting in the warm sunshine, one can not only hear the beatiful songs of birds, but also see butterflies with bees, The latter often sneaks into the flowers... Wow! This really surprised me, because it's only January ! For the next three days, it's raining and foggy. On the 15th Jan, it actually snowed lightly. Taking this opportunity, I organized this sketch creation. Although there are many artificial buildings in the Plum Blossom Garden, I prefer to take their stone streams and water, especially hoping to find slopes (of course not), because I prefer to find natural taste or say "rustic charm" for my paintings rather than artificial things...

Sometimes I also wonder: since I have learned both of flower and bird painting and landscape painting, can I combine the two through "flower and tree"?

If it were you, what would you do? Sincerely hope to receive your comments and guidance.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, welcome to write to shirley@ebridge.cn. :-)

这是我2023年1月13日在无锡梅园的第三张写生。坐在温暖的阳光下,不仅能够听到鸟儿的鸣叫,而且看到了蝴蝶🦋与蜜蜂🐝,后者经常钻进腊梅的花朵之中……哇塞!这真是惊到了自己,因为这才是一月份呀!

接下来三天,雨蒙蒙,雾蒙蒙,15日居然下了小雪,趁此机会,整理了这幅写生创作。虽然梅园中有许多人工的建筑,我更喜欢取其石头溪水,特别希望找到山坡之类(当然没有),因为我更想为自己的画面找到自然的"野趣",而不大喜欢人工的东西……有时也想:既然自己学习了花鸟画与山水画,是不是能通过"花树",将二者结合起来呢?

如果是您,您会怎么做?真诚希望得到您的评论与指点。
