This is my 46th Combined Paintingthat I created for Chinese Classical Poetry, andmy 557 painting since 2003.Also, it is the 4th painting (practice) that I have done in 2011.

This is the 6th time that I created a new painting to match this poem by Du Fu.

Anyway, I do not think it is as good as the other paintings than I had created for the same poem before. Maybe for I am in the Spring Festival in Shenzhen and most of painting tools are in Beijing now? I do not feel the paper, the brushers suitable at all. :-) I am not sure about it yet, but, I do feel that my hands are very not familiar since I have not painted for about 3 weeks.

So, when I compare this painting with other painting now, I do feel that no matter the flowers or the colors and whole of the feeling of the painting, just like myself -- in a little bit sickness.

I cannot help smiling when I realize this.

However, I am going keep doing this job and try to create something unique with my continuously effort.

MAIN MEANING OF THE POEM:

Find Flowers by the River Alone

By Du Fu ( Tang )

(Mrs.) Huang Si's path is covered by the flowers,
Ten thousands bend the branches.
Playful butterflies are dancing, unwilling leave,
Free cute birds are "Qia Qia"singing.
