| 水彩，可以當作我的日記
WATERCOLOURS AS MY DIARY
每個人走的地方都很多，主要的記錄方式是用照片。照片我也拍了很多，但我發現，哪怕是畫幾筆速寫，畫一些顏色的小水彩，它的記憶就比照片要好很多。照片一拍就匆匆完事，但繪畫就能感受是什麼樣的色調，什麼樣的季節，什麼樣的情緒。這幾筆實際上是很重要的，它比照片給人的印象要深，記錄的資訊量要大。
這個習慣的養成，也是現在畫水彩的原因。這些水彩，可以當作我的日記。我是不睡懶覺的，起得很早。人家起床吃早飯時，我已經畫了幾張了。
一年四季是重復的，但每一次重復卻因為人年齡的增長而給人不同感覺。人越來越走向衰老，對生命的感受也不一樣。年輕的時候認為生命無限，感受不是很深，但隨著年齡的增大，有一種緊迫感，對生命的感受就是要珍惜生命中的每一天，這種感受現在特別深，當然就會把握每一個季節去畫畫。
每一個春天都應該緊緊抓住，應該畫很多畫。
When one goes to places, he usually takes photos as a record of experience. I also take lots of pictures, but I discover that some sketches or small watercolours serve this purpose better. I finish taking photos in a matter of minutes, but painting makes me feel a kind of tone, in what season, or in what mood. These strokes are more impressive and abundant in information.
This habit of painting was the reason why I paint watercolours now. They serve as my diary. I get up early every morning and finish a few of them when others are at the breakfast table.
The seasons are repetitive, but I feel differently as I grow old. When one becomes senior, one has a dif- ferent taste of life. Life for a young man is infinite and he does not feel as much. Older folks feel a sense of urgency, and they treasure every day. I feel this profoundly, so I will seize every season. Each spring day is to be used for painting. |
