| Title: Shirley's Art Works 1560 & Sketch 155 - Jan 13, 2023 |
| Artist: Shirley Yiping Zhang |
| Size: 38cm x 38cm (14.96 inches x 14.96 inches) Chinese Ink on Paper |
| Completed Time: Jan 16, 2023 |
Remarks:
This is my 1559th Chinese painting since 2003,and the155th Sketch or Painting From the Nature .
This is my 4th sketch creation On January 16th, 2023. That day was the first day after a snow in Wuxi. Although I knew that outdoor sketching might be very cold, I didn't want to miss the rare flowering period and wanted to seize the short time of sketching in Wuxi for the first time. After all, I had been looking forward to paint it from the nature for more than ten years, and next year's today may not have the chance to come back here. In addition, the rain and snow had already delayed for three days. I really wanted to know how the plum blossoms have changed today.
So I firmly walked out of the door. Despite the bright sunshine outside, wearing a thick jacket and leather coat, sitting in the wilderness was still very cold. After only 2.5 hours of painting, I had to retreat. When I returned to my car, I felt my fingers numb...
However, I found that although the flowers were covered by the snow were stained with black lines or spots (whether it was due to pollution or the chemical changes formed by yellow petals and snowflakes?), many flowers fell to the ground due to the wind and snow, but it did not prevent them from emitting a refreshing fragrance. It truly allowed me to experience the artistic conception and meaning of "plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold", and to understand why Lin Pu (967 - 1028) famous as " Mei qi he zi -- take a plum tree for his wife and cranes for his children"... Therefore, every time when I finish outdoor sketching, I always pick up a few plum blossoms to take home, so that I can organize my daytime sketching at night and observe its details.
In my mind, sketching and creating in the fragrance of plum blossoms and the chirping of birds is truly an incredibly enjoyable process.
What do you think of this small sketch creation? Sincerely hope to receive your comments and guidance.

这是我2023年的第4张写生创作。1月16日，是2023无锡雪霁后的第一天，虽然知道户外写生一定很冷，但不想错过难得的花期，特别想抓住第一次在无锡写生腊梅的暂短时光，毕竟期盼了十余年，明年的今日恐怕再难有机会回来，加之日前雨雪霏霏已经耽误了三天，真得好想知道今日的梅花有何变化，于是坚定走出门去。
尽管外面阳光明媚，穿着羽绒服加皮大衣，坐在野外依然很冷，仅仅画了2.5个小时就不得不撤退，回到车里，居然感到手指都麻了……
然而，发现雪后的腊梅虽然染上了丝丝黑线或黑点(不知是因为污染还是黄色腊梅+雪花所形成的化学变化?)，许多花朵都因风雪落在了地上，却未妨碍其散发清香，真正让我体会到"梅花香自苦寒来"意境与含意，体会到何以林逋会以"梅妻鹤子"而闻名。
因此，每当结束户外写生，总要捡几朵梅花带回家，以便晚上整理白天的写生，观察其细节。心里话，在梅花的清香中与鸟儿的鸣叫中写生创作，真是一个无比享受的过程。
您怎么看这幅小小写生创作? 真诚希望得到您的评论与指点。
