绘画作品集

1、Bubble World （泡泡世界）

In the universe of bubbles, each shimmering orb contains a world all its own. Some are filled with rainbow rivers, tranquillity and peace, while others provide a glimpse into exotic adventures in faraway places. Together the two friends watch with curiosity to see which of the floating images will merge with each other into a brand new world. Will they transform into worlds where new images are caught or will they timelessly float just out of reach?

2、Dragon Dancers （龙之舞）

So magically do the dancers glide across the dragon's back, they feel as though they are flying through the universe. As they swirl and float through fields of flowers, the power of the music and their own movement transports them through the heavens on a journey into the unknown.

3、The Enchanted Flute （魔法长笛）

As a lovely girl plays her enchanted flute, the silvery notes cause fairytale cities to rise from the flowers. Joyful children sail forth to a world of adventure in a boat drawn by magical butterflies, and a whole universe of hopes and dreams pours forth to fill the air. As with the young girl, within the spirit of each one of us are treasured hopes and dreams just waiting to be carried into the universe on the wings of magical butterflies. May your dreams be lifted on butterfly wings!

4、Seasons of Life （四季人生）

From the sea of life emerge the enthusiasm and innocence of youth in Springtime. Summer brings joy and ripening maturity which flows into the contentment and memories of Autumn. Winter brings an ever-deepening wisdom and understanding of oneself and the universe. Each season has a beauty all its own that intermingles with every other season to make life a continuing miracle.

5、Winter Dreaming （冬之梦）

'Winter Dreaming' shows a little maiden dreaming of days gone by. The story around comprises some of my favourite dreamy images based on Victorian times (one of my favourite eras). As with other works from the Dream range the viewer is able to make up their own story, reading the scene in either direction.

6、Prelude to a Kiss （吻的前奏）

That 'magic' moment! - the frozen frame in time, savouring the powerful emotion of that first kiss. As their lips move ever closer they can feel the electricity in the air as they approach the blending of their two minds and spirits.Their thoughts and pulses race as the heavenly conductor leads them to a crescendo in the concerto of love.The enchantment of that moment will last forever.

7、Alternative Reality （替代现实）

Life is full of choices! Having stepped into a mysterious mirror portal, her reflection is caught between two worlds and she must decide to which reality she belongs. Should she enter the hurly- burly of Victorian London street life that feels so familiar to her, and yet so distant? Or perhaps the eerie neglected buildings are all that remain of a palace where once she was a princess. The indecision is yours!

8、Doorway to the Stars （临近的明星）

If you close your eyes and release your imagination all things are possible. A simple cabinet door can be a portal to another world. A world where the sky filled with planets looks very different from the one we know. A world where mighty pyramids channelling energy to receptive minds, sit quite comfortably alongside fairy castles - a world where you will find wonder and tranquillity. Stay a while and dip your feet in the river of peace. You will feel refreshed.

9、Fantasy （幻想）

Oh! what a wonderful night, full of dancing and romance. As she coyly wafts her fan the young woman is surprised to see that the magic of the evening seems unending. Bathed in dazzling moonlight, characters from the scenes on her fan emerge, eager to share in the magic of the night. Truly a Fan-tasy!.

10、Fantasy Wedding （梦幻婚礼）

At a fantasy wedding there is no need of a limousine when the bride can arrive on a pure white unicorn, and the groom on a powerful striped mount.

With attendants from the jungles and plains, the happy young couple set out on their journey through life together, surrounded by all the things that have meant so much to them. What a magical day, one never to be forgotten!

11、Ice and Fire （冰与火）

Hidden well beyond the eyes of mortals a wondrous place exists. This is a place where you can be serenaded on a cloud, and where a candle lights the way to a staircase of dreams. A helping hand will guide you on a visit with the spirits of the trees. Here the fiery passion of true love can melt the coldest heart. Ice & Fire coexist in perfect harmony.

12、Nautilus （鹦鹉螺）

Life! Where did we come from? Where are we going? Out of the vastness of space a sequence of events beginning with the tiniest of life forms ignites the spiral of evolution. Through fish, plants, animals and birds the path eventually leads to mankind. A pool of life bringing water cascades from the treetops to form a pathway to a bright and hopeful future.

13、Ocean of Dreams （海洋之梦）

Sailing on an ocean of stars the galleon with its beautiful figurehead, heads of into the night. As it sails the dream bringer unfurls her cloak and a myriad dreams spill out in its wake.

14、The Magic Spinning Top （魔术陀螺）

Amongst a box of toys in Grandma's attic the boys have found a spinning top, and as they begin to make it turn they just can't believe their eyes. They look on in wonder and delight as sparks of magic begin to whirl from the top and take the form of their every thought.

Characters from their books emerge from the enchanted cloud of stars. Wizard Ho-Ho, a playful fairy, a dragon with dragonfly wings and a flying cat, even their old broken rocking horse comes to life. A prince on a dolphin beckons them to join him on an adventure into the wonderful world of their imagination.

15、Freedom（自由）

For many years people viewed the rocky outcrop and wondered at it’s powerful similarity to an eagle. Little did they know that one day the mighty eagle would break free from it’s rocky bonds, aided by a mighty spirit of nature. With convulvulus hair and a dress of daisies the spirit leads the mighty bird on a quest for freedom.

16、Gypsy Moth （蛾之舞）

Encouraged by the haunting sounds of the man in the moon on his guitar, the beautiful gypsy moth beats her wings to the rhythm of flamenco. Her partner takes her in his arms and moves in time to the beat of the gypsy rhythm.

17、Over the Moon（月亮之上）

As the moon sets into a sky filled with the shimmering colours of the Aurora Borealis, ascending a magical spiral staircase she takes a giant leap over the moon. A mystical creature – part owl and part deer lights her way with it’s candle antlers.

Where is her missing shoe?

18、The Dryad and the Dragonfly （树妖与蜻蜓）

Beyond the prying eyes of humans, deep in an enchanted forest, dwells a beautiful dryad. At the source of a meandering river, she revels in her leafy paradise, and is content to spend her time with a passing “Dragonfly”. She is not at all surprised to see that it is a mysterious creature - a dragon with dragonfly wings. Many such wonderful sights are part of her everyday life.

19、Once in a Blue Moon （蓝月亮）

When a blue moon rises in the night sky, it is time for the enchantress with the fairy tale city gleaming in her hair to welcome her friend the wolf. The howling of the wolf and the owl's music create a haunting melody which brings to life her cloak of butterflies and moths, and inspires them to unfurl their wings and fly.

20、Bridge of Hope （跨越希望）

Sometimes following a period of intense and detailed work, requiring a high degree of concentration, I feel the need to 'let myself go'. "Bridge of Hope" is a painting of this type, where I have no pre-conceived ideas, but rather a collection of spontaneous thoughts, which lead to the eventual composition. Without a deliberate central theme, it becomes whatever the viewer wishes it to be; and is open to many varied interpretations. In fact, I allow the painting to paint itself.

For example the hands forming a bridge across the river were initially not connected to the face in the sky, but later when I decided to paint her shoulder, suddenly, one of them became her hand. The little girl was nearly riding a bear or an elephant, but finally it had to be a deer. I have a lot of fun creating strange, surrealistic worlds where some images appear to be larger than life, such as the humming bird, flowers, ferns and hands, whilst others such as St. Michaels Mount and the couple floating along the river in the boat are much smaller.

A world where the mind can roam freely, to the extent of the imagination. One interpretation could be, that mother nature is holding out the hand of hope to mankind, forming a bridge, which if we choose to cross will allow us to live at one with nature, and share the responsibility for ensuring the well being of the earth and all its wonders.

It could be said that children and animals find it much easier to make this decision, demonstrated by the girl on the deer, who go unhesitatingly across. The young couple are also symbolic of hope as they float on their journey through life to a hopeful future. What is your interpretation?

21、Millenium Tree (Tree of Peace) 千年之树（和平之树）

As mankind emerges from the mists of time to enter a new millennium, hope abounds that all nations will be united in friendship and love (hidden faces) encircle our fragile and incredibly complex world.The D.N.A. bracelet twines round the "helping hand" guiding the younger hand of humanity that strives to explore and learn so much more.

You will find a number of famous characters that have influenced and shaped our past, present and future e.g. Darwin, Einstein, Beethoven etc.The left side symbolises nature - while the right symbolises technology and the future.The dove symbolises peace and the rainbow hope. The hands either side of the tree symbolise the need for our beautiful world to be protected forever.

22、Sweet Synergy （甜美的配合）

Gently cradled in her feathery wing, the goddess links her energy with the male and female of humankind, creating a labyrinth, which represents the many twists and turns of life. Spiralling downward, a staircase leads to the entrance of another world, where romance and tranquillity eternally dance. When minds are joined in this fashion, a perfect synergy is created, leading to spiritual growth and vital transformation.

23、The Untold Story （诉不尽的故事）

As the planet evolves, humankind increasingly leaves the cities to seek peace and consolation in the country. There nature awaits with all her gentleness and beauty to welcome humanity into a more fulfilling way of life.

24、Winged Vision （翼之视觉）

In a surrealistic world, where galleons sail through seas of flowers and birds bring visionary worlds on their wings of flight, a magical bird bears a message of love that transcends time and space.

25、Bygone Summers （流逝的夏日）

On a warm midsummer day, the young girl enjoys the sun on her face, while her shady hat is filled with the essence of summer times. The straw becomes a cornfield abounding with wild flowers and butterflies, and little scenes of idyllic rural life.

26、The Water Jug （水瓶）

Life is a constant stream of thoughts, feelings and experiences that flows through our days. As the years pass, we gather the most vibrant and meaningful of these to our hearts and keep them fresh in memory, so that the best of them can bloom for us again and again.

27、Key to Eternity （永恒的关键）

This image is all about the mystery of time. The lovers shown in negative form are Time Lords responsible for the smooth passage of time, and the key to eternity. He wears a blindfold to avoid distraction and to concentrate his thoughts on his important task.

According to the language of flowers the White Poplar is said to represent time and the maiden wears a crown of its timeless leaves with their brilliant silver undersides. The water carrier represents the new age - 'Age of Aquarius'- and the past by the ancient stone circle within the everlasting clock.

The girl sitting beside the clock carries a needle perhaps to put a 'stitch in time'. The wise old owl looks on as the dandelion clocks shed their seeds continuing the everlasting circle of life. This is only one interpretation…

28、Tree of Wonders （树之奇观）

Once in a while I feel compelled to paint surrealistic collections of images. When I am in the mood I never quite know what the eventual composition will be and sometimes I am surprised at the outcome.In this painting I have placed a collection of beautiful and fascinating objects amongst the branches of a tree. 'Herne' is depicted in what is actually the doorway of the cottage where I live. Complete with eyebrow window and lamp. There are many faces of tree spirits hidden within the branches and much symbolism such as the couple who represent love.

29、Tree of Reverie （树的梦想）

Somewhere deep within an enchanted forest there is a magnificent and special tree. Those who stop to admire it soon feel the need to take a nap. Once asleep, the maiden imagines herself to be drifting amongst the clouds.

Her mind is filled with dreams of a bygone age. Are these dreams of events she has experienced in another life, or are they perhaps visions trapped within the branches, collected by the tree over many centuries?

30、Soul of a Unicorn （独角兽之灵魂）

In a world filled with adversity the unicorn symbolises all that is pure, gentle and loyal. She travels to all corners of the earth, with blankets of flowers springing up wherever she treads. She helps those who are sick in body or mind with a touch of her healing horn. She weaves a special magic to influence our hearts to do good, and to give us the desire to help others, and fill us with joy at the beauty of our planet.

31、Stairway of Dreams （阶梯之梦）

Sitting in her favourite spot on the stairs illuminated by the warm glow of a candle the young girl drifts towards sleep. As she enters the mysterious world of her subconscious imagination, a myriad images spring to life in her dreams. Dreams stimulated by the tales of saints and heroes from her storybook.

32、Reflections of Winter （冬之思索）

Luxuriating in the warmth of a long spring day, surrounded by natures bounty, she looks into the mirror and catches a glimpse of an icy wonderland. Perhaps it's a parallel world or just an alternative moment in time where two seasons exist simultaneously. The coolness of the reflection helps to relieve from the heat of the day, just like the wonderful coolness of an ice-cube in your mouth.

33、Underworlds （地下世界）

Alighting from her craft on the river of dreams, the girl is faced with a wondrous sight. Illuminated by candlelight she is thrilled to find an enchanted grotto full of tempting paths, each one leading to a new adventure. Which one should she take?

34、Whispers （低语者）

Some things should never be said out loud, and when two friends get together there are always stories to be told, but only in whispers.Why do we love to whisper? Does it add another dimension to the story and make it even more intriguing because we know we shouldn't tell?
