偶然

然云一朵
悄悄牵走
蒲公英的梦

a passing cloud
accidentally awakens the dream of
a dandelion

This was an accidental piece. I was exploring other tools in my software, to get a hang of the other media available besides my usual preference. It all started without any concrete idea or subject, I was merely playing around with shapes and colours. First it was the row of purple patches which rather naturally formed the roofs of some simple cottages.  With the cottages came the prairie and was followed by the deep blue sky. To complement the sky, a cloud was added, not too many but just one; enough to enthral, to arouse interest and to tell a story, almost like a touch of Zen. However, there was still something lacking in the composition, a focus that could anchor the whole picture, echo the lonesome cloud and complete the story. I found the answer in a simple dandelion, in full bloom pure and bright, almost ready to take flight, to follow suit the trail of the wandering cloud, embarking on a pilgrimage of its dream.

The drawing was done on a single layer.
