Wild lily #1: 野百合也有春天

in #art7 years ago

There are many types of lily with different colors. But my favorite is the white lily. I used to go to Zhongshan Square where there is a big flower market to buy some flowers with my colleagues. And every time we selected a few lilies.

It is neither gorgeous as peonies nor fragrant as jasmine, but I just like its modest and faint scent and strong will. It not only looks beautiful but also has a good name in Chinese, "baihe", which means a harmonious union lasting a hundred years, so it is so popular with many people, especially at wedding.

Though this pure and fresh lily is blooming in the quiet valley, this does not affect its quality, loved by earth and sun. And it is not taken precious good care of and grows stubbornly, but also lives comfortably and has its own beautiful.

百合花品种很多,颜色各异。但我最喜欢的还是白色的百合花。以前每周都会和同事们去中山广场那边的花市去买花,而每次都会挑几株百合搭配着。它没有牡丹华贵,也没有茉莉清香,但是我就喜欢它这种微微低垂,冰清玉润的样子以及散发出的淡淡的幽香和坚强的性格。而且不仅好看,它还有一个极好听的名字,百合,“百年好合”,我想所以才会有那么多人喜爱吧。

这株清新,高雅的百合花,开在寂静的山谷里,丝毫不影响自己的独特品质,一样被大地和阳光宠爱着。它和周围的石头,杂草一样顽强的生长,虽然没有被精心的照料,但是长势依然很好,也有自己的春天。

I did not know lily has the meaningful messages to Chinese before I read your post.

good art dear friend

I like your art. It gives the sense of simplicity, calm and innocence.

I need to start doing realism again, I haven't in a few years. Very nice work, thanks for sharing.

@helene Wow I like the overall sensitivity in this piece. Very soothing. It is always interesting to use different techniques, like your overall lines, solid leaves, flowers left in outlines, and then the more loose background strokes and washes.

画得很好看!赞

White lily is realy beautiful

野百合也会有春天,配合@tvb的华语好声音边听边看,是一种享受啊。

这首歌确实经典好听啊!

你画了好多国画,难道是国画系出身??

哈哈,画画只是我其中一个小爱好。之前也画了很多水彩哦。
