第一次在耶誕感到有點冷清。家裡沒有聖誕樹, 唯一的植物是我們從超市買來的三個球根, 目前只發幾支小芽, 什麼名字我也不太清楚, 我只知道每次我養的植物都很難順利開花...
倫敦的聖誕氣氛頗重, 血拼人潮已達極限, 尤其是街上的燈飾, 比溫哥華來得耀眼許多; 各大百貨公司的櫥窗展示一家比一家猛, 華麗程度跟 Disneyland 有得拼。Christmas Fair 在這裡似乎很流行: 旋轉木馬, 小型 roller coaster, candy shop...等, 小型遊樂區就這樣在城市裡搭建起來。Hyde Park 的 Christmas Fair 還有一個小型 ice rink.
Merry Christmas my friends!
What I did this Christmas? Well, I ate lots of junkies and watched a movie "A Good Year" with Poan. The movie turned out to be a junky as well. It's about a man who has a successful career as a stock trader in London but faces a new dilemma as his uncle left him a vineyard in Provence after his death. He has to choose between a modern but busy life in London and a rural yet spiritual life in Provence. Which one would he choose?
Stupid movie, it's all very predictable. But thanks to that movie, which reminds me of a book I've bought a long time ago--"The South of France"--a fantastic, feels-good watercolor journal by an artist. It's sitting right there on our shelf.
All the sudden, I wanted to paint. I wanted to do something I've been thinking about for a long time: draw something out of that book. And it happens that we do have watercolor kits, which Poan bought in a small town 'San Gimignano' during our trip to Tuscany, Italy. The town looks just like the one appeared in the movie, and it feels just like what is described in the book.
So here it is, the first watercolor I have produced since I got out of what, elementary school? Oh I absolutely love the texture of it. How come I didn't like to paint before?
