This is my 40th Combined Paintingthat I created for Chinese Classical Poetry, andmy 528 painting since 2003.Also, it is the 59th(86th) painting (practice) that I have done in 2010.

I painted it by learning a textbook of Mr. Tang Yurun who is the professor of my Chinese art professor. But, I added something of mine in it, to express an intersting moment in a summer day -- A little lotus just grows out of the water, one dragonfly has stood on it early... :-)

Even though I had only 1 meal within the 4 days since Tuesday, after I had the biopsy. Anyway, since I could eat a little bit thing Saturday night, I stood up to paint. I would really like to do my best to learn, to creat and to offer something beautiful for you and for the world.

MAIN MEANING OF THE PEOM :

A Little Pond

By Yang Wangli (Song Dynasty)

A silent mouth of the spring "cherishes" the streamlet,
The shadow of the trees is reflected in the water; it "loves" the scene in the sunshine.
A little lotus leaf just appears her pointed tip,
Quickly, a dragonfly stands on it.

泉眼无声惜细流 - Quányǎn wúshēng xī xìlíu,
树阴照水爱晴柔 - shùyīn zhàoshuǐ ài qíng róng。
小荷才露尖尖角 - Xiǎo hé cái lù jiānjiān jiǎo,
早有蜻蜓立上头 - zǎoyǒu qīngtíng lì shàngtóu。
