荷池清趣（彩墨）

池塘裡，荷花、鴨群、鳥群構成一幅熱鬧又不失悠閑的天地。

一般荷花生長在蓮池裡，絕不肯留有空間，藕根會到處亂竄亂長，綿延不絕，荷葉則長得密密麻麻，讓你透不過氣來。這裡，為了畫面的需要，我們還是留下一些空間，不使畫面太過壅塞，而且也可以在花葉之下，畫些鴨群與麻雀，呈現出一些趣味來。

這群綠頭鴨在岸上熱身好，準備下水了，呼朋引伴的。麻雀則是飛到另一邊去另組聊天小天地。至於荷花如何繽紛，荷葉如何熱鬧，都不是牠們關注的。

Lotus Pond/ink and color painting

A pond with lotus blossoms, a flock of ducks, and flocks of birds creates a bustling yet serene little world.

Lotuses growing in a pond are ordinarily unwilling to leave any space. The lotus roots grow in an unruly, spreading mass, and the leaves grow densely on the surface. There’s practically no room to breathe.

I left some space in this painting, however, because I didn’t want it to be too congested. I also wanted to have enough room to paint a flock of ducks and some sparrows underneath the leaves and flowers, in order to give the painting more interest.

These mallard ducks are preparing to take to the water after warming up on the bank. These sparrows have summoned their friends to another side for a chat, not paying any attention to the profuse lotus blossoms and lush lotus leaves.＠
