A Self-talking

 I have been learning and painting oil painting for nearly 56 years. Recently I ask myself what kind of painter I am? After a long time, I tell myself:

 1.I am not a famous and skilled painter, but a normal painter with the balance of rationality and sensibility.

2. I am a pinter who have a clear mind and willing to put myself into painting.

3. I have ensured my technique of exploring the oil painting of the western and Chinese.

4. I am a lover to “color”. I think: first the color is the treasure of oil painting; second the color must be the rhyme of music in painting; third the color is endless.

 5. I focus on the two points in painting, one is disposition, second id the quality of art.

6. I treat the art as a “slow process”. Doing art have to have a clear aim.

After 40 years old, the pallet and color language of painting have been changing. And it always focuses on the construction of value. Since nineties century, I have chosen three brands of color of Rolf Lovland, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh.

 I want to find the different meanings in painting; but I don’t play, and I want to convey the art in my eyes and heart.

 The former people said: the precious is the bravery. And I say: the difficult is the true.
