waltz

Waltz in the woods
In a late summer
In soft silence

晚夏的林木
寂静如歌
翩翩华尔兹

ps: By the time I'm at Cambridge, I'll be experiencing the very first autumn in my life. On a golden meadow, under fallen leaves, while squirrels hurry among the woods collecting nuts for winter, I shall dance a one-man waltz.

awake

Summer greens
in their sleep
awake their dreams

青青盛夏
他们睡了
梦却醒了

偶然

偶然云一朵
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.
