The River 河流

With these paintings your mind will eventually find the pattern but since it is a river I suggest starting to focus on the blue. The green is vegetation of some sort while the pink represent flowers in general. They can be seen as standalone and a thing by themselves. Or you could consider them having dropped into the river silently floating away.

Think of a time when you, as a child lay on the ground looking up at the clouds imagine them being dragons, or bananas or whatever you and your friends could come up with.

There is something so inherently calming at sitting and staring at a river. It flows naturally without breaks and as it hits obstacles like rocks along the way it simply flows around and slowly breaks down the object in its path over thousands of years if it has to.

I grew up around water a lot. We always had a sail boat and we used to go out in it the whole family sailing to nearby islands and sleeping in the boat. I would bring my magazines or, if it was warm enough, I would snorkel and dive in the water as much as possible. As we got older it was kneeboards and wakeboard and whatever we could really get our hands on.

We would also go for hikes in the mountains or go fishing in the rivers for salmon or bass. I think it was from these two things that has made many fond memories from things done around or in water.

这幅画,也许你能很快找到规律。其实这是一条河,所以建议你可以从蓝色部分开始。绿色代表河流中时而漂浮的植被,而粉红色则代表落入河中的花瓣。它们既可被看作是独立的、也可以是一个整体,仿佛是潺潺流动的河面漂浮着落叶与花瓣;也可以看作是时间的河流,里面的每一种色彩都是一种独立而值得回忆的经历。

想象一下,这种经历仿佛是,当你还是孩子时,躺在地上仰望天空中的云朵时,把它们想象成龙,或者香蕉,或是任意你和你的朋友能想到的任何东西。

坐在河边,看河水的流动本身有着一种安静与祥和。河水从不间断,当它碰到岩石之类的障碍时,它只是简单地绕着周围流动再汇合,几千年一直如此。

我在水周围长大。我们有一艘帆船,在我还小的时候,经常一家人坐船去附近的小岛,在船上休息。我会把我的杂志带上,或者,如果气候温暖,我会跳入水中潜水。当我们长大了,我们则用水上滑板或跪式滑板或任何我们找得到的东西来滑水。

我们也会去山上远足,去河里钓鱼,钓鲑鱼或鲈鱼。我想是从这两件事中,让我一直对水有着非常快乐的记忆。
