Original Chinese Ink Painting
One spring morning, while visiting a nature reserve in Vancouver, I watched two wild ducks swimming across a quiet lake. They were feeding, playing, and enjoying the morning together, seemingly without a care in the world.
I stood watching them, feeling a little envious of their simple freedom.
That evening, with a little ink left on my worktable, I painted the scene from memory, without a preliminary sketch.
When my son, who is also an artist, saw the painting, he asked, “You painted this without sketching first?”
“Yes,” I replied.
Perhaps what I wanted to capture was not simply two ducks on a lake, but something I had felt that morning — the quiet happiness of being alive, free from unnecessary worries.
Sometimes, peace of mind is as simple as watching two ducks enjoying an ordinary spring morning.
