This is my 1559th painting the 154th Sketch / 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, you are welcome to write to info@ebridge.cn. :-)
