在我的书柜中,有一摞整齐的16开硬抄素描本,被我视为珍爱之物,妥善保存。这是我自2014年4月以来两年多的写生本,共画了各种钢笔花卉素描341幅。许多看过这些绘画习作的亲朋好友,都很惊奇,也交口称赞。他们诧异地问我:你一个年逾古稀的退休航空高级工程师,怎么会天天去画植物花卉?没听说你进过美术学习班呀,怎么会画得这么逼真?这还得从两年前说起。 In my bookcase there is a neat stack of 16 hardcopy sketches, which I consider to be cherished things and kept properly. This is my sketchbook of more than two years since April 2014. I have drawn a total of 341 drawings of various pen and flower drawings. Many of my relatives and friends who have seen these paintings are both very surprised and acclaimed. They asked me wonderfully: how can you draw plants and flowers every day when you are an aging seventy-year-old retired aviation senior engineer? Speaking.
