my 484th painting since 2003 and my 24th
integrated painting. Also, it is the 11st (30th) painting that I have created in 2010.
I had created
a painting to match the classical poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu below in July, 2008. But, I have not been satisfying it and I have not been finding a time to create a piece of music for the poem until the Chinese New Year's holiday in 2010.
The flowers everywhere in my city gave me an idea to create a new painting, when I was thinking of my painting, I thought of the poem, then I combine the painting and the poem together Thursday night. Then I did not satisfy it yet. So, as soon as I started my holiday Friday night, I created the new one.
Anyway, compare with the first painting in 2008, I feel that maybe I am thinking that maybe I should combine the two painting's views together.
How do you think of the three paintings? Do you agree with my ideas?

By Du Pu ( Tang )
Ms. Huang Si's path is covered by flowers,
ten thousand bended the branches down.

free cute birds are "Qia Qia"singing
