閑適（彩墨）

畫這種畫，一定要有閑適的心情才行。

攤開畫紙，隨意點染。初無定質，發於本該發，止於所不得不止。不懸一個什麼目的，只是塗色染墨，隨意安插。完成之後，心情會顯得特別的鬆散、愉悅與滿足。

畫畫抱持著這種心態真好。

畫畫不要給自己壓力，順意隨喜就好。不要跟別人比較，各人有各人的面目，他要那樣畫，我要這樣畫，任何人都不能影響到我。我畫我的，你畫你的，他畫他的，各畫各的。

畫畫的快慰無可取代，畫畫時心裡所想的，眼裡所見的，手裡所動的，都是美而稱心的作品，整個人浸淫在美好的事物中──

感謝上蒼賜給我們一雙能判別美醜的眼；一雙靈巧的手；一顆多感的心……，使我人能忘懷地坐在畫桌前，閑適地、專注地經營自己的心靈世界。

Relaxation/ink and color painting

You must have a relaxed frame of mind when you paint this kind of painting.

In this work, I spread out the paper, and splashed colors where I wanted. Without any preconception of what I was trying to achieve, I proceeded to do what I felt needed to be done, and stopped where I felt I should stop. Without any goal in mind, I applied ink and colors as I wished. After the painting was completed, I felt especially relaxed, happy, and satisfied.

It is wonderful to have such an attitude when painting.

You shouldn’t stress out yourself when painting. You should paint as long as it pleases you, and shouldn’t compare yourself with others, as everyone has his or her own style. Others can paint anything they like, and I can paint what I like. I am not going to be affected by anyone. I paint mine, you paint yours, and he paints his—We should paint our own things.

There is nothing that can replace the enjoyment of painting. I paint what I think in my mind, what I see with my eyes, and what I move with my hands, and all of these have inspired very satisfying works. I immerse myself in very wonderful things.

I thank God for blessing us with a pair of eyes that can tell the difference between beautiful and ugly, a pair of skillful hands, and a heart full of feelings, so I can nurture my own spiritual world in front of my desk.@
