| Title: Shirley's Art Works 1565 & Sketch 160 - Feb 13, 2023 |
| Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang |
| Size: 38cm x 38cm (14.96 inches x 14.96 inches) Chinese Ink on Paper |
| Completed Time: Feb 13, 2023 |
Remarks:
This is my 1565th Chinese painting since 2003,and the160th Sketch and Creation from the Nature .
This is my 9th sketch creation in Wuxi in Spring 2023. Based on the study of the famous plum blossom works of the Song (960 -1279）, Yuan（1271 - 1368）, Ming（1368 - 1644）, and Qing（1616 - 1912) dynasties, I reorganized the first sketch of a bird that I saw in my first painting from the nature on January 10th.
Unfortunately, the rain in Jiangnan wass continuous, and I couldn't go out to sketch for several days. However, it happened to give me a good opportunity to focus on the studying and observing those flowers I had purchased online.
One of my reading experiences is that it seems like I have not truely matered what I had read yet so that I have not noticed so many details and useful things. Then this also reminded me to study more seriously.
It is interesting to see two types of Lamei （winter sweet， chimonanthus fragrans; Japan allspice; calycanthus praecox） in the sketch, whose flower buds have almost the same shape and color, and when they bloom, they do not have the linear stamens of typical plum blossoms. One type of flower has a lantern shaped bottom with 5 circular petals, and the bracts and petals are all vine yellow, looking plump and cute; Another type of flower has a base similar to that of a regular plum blossom, with 7 or 8 olive shaped petals that resemble a daisy in overall shape. The bracts are vine yellow, and after opening, the outer petals and stamens are milky white, while the middle layer is rouge colored
I prefer the first type, so I have never sketched the second type outdoors. However, upon seeing the two types of flowers purchased by mail, they transformed from ochre colored sprouts to vine yellow flower buds, and then both bloomed into the appearance of the second type of flower. I couldn't help smiling at themselves: it was simply God helping me to correct my sketching preferences.
So, my little painting also unconsciously became the second type with the changes in the Lamei at home.
Anyway, the feeling now is a bit childish.Right?
Do you like this small painting?
Sincerely hope to receive your comments and guidance.

这是2023年春我在无锡的第9张写生创作。有感于1月10日首次腊梅写生看见的小鸟，在学习宋元明清梅花名作的基础上，重新整理第1张写生稿而得来。
可惜江南阴雨绵绵，数日无法外出写生，但正好给了学生专心读书，观察邮购来的腊梅的机会。
读书体会之一是：好像学生过去的书画都白读了，竟有那么多细节、那么多有用的东西都不曾注意到？进而提醒自己更加认真地学习。
有趣的是：写生中看到两种腊梅，其花苞的形状与颜色几乎相同，盛开时均无一般梅花的线形花蕊。其中一种的花朵底部呈灯笼状，5片圆形的花瓣，花苞花瓣均呈藤黄色，看上去胖胖的、萌萌的；另一种花朵底部与一般梅花相近，有7片或8片橄榄形花瓣，总体形状有点像小雏菊, 花苞呈藤黄色，开放后外层花瓣与花蕊呈乳白色，中间层为胭脂色……
我更喜欢第一种，因此从未在户外写生第二种。然而，眼看邮购来的两种腊梅，从赭石色的萌芽，变成藤黄色的花苞，继而都开放成第二种腊梅的样子。我不禁对自己微笑：这简直是上帝在帮我纠正自己的写生偏好？
于是，我的这张小画竟也随着家中腊梅的变化，不自觉地变成了第二种。无论如何，现在的感觉有点幼稚。
不知您如何看此小画？真诚希望得到您的评论与指点。
