当我不懂要画什么时，就会从一大堆的旧速写中找资料，然后用速写稿和记忆迅速画成轻松写意的水彩，当成练习；但每每都有意外的惊喜。画了卅几年，我发觉人的记忆真是很强大的，我们总是能强化记忆中很喜爱的东西。小时候吃过的好东西，总是最好的，似乎再也找不到了。再回到同样的地方，吃同样的东西，似乎味道就没以前好。这种错觉应用到美术上，也是很伟大的，它完全强化的对物象诠释的力量。我常常在画很写意的水彩画时感受到，这种记忆绘画方式强化了物象和画面的表现力，所以我很享受画轻松写意的水彩画。

When I don't know what to paint, I will dig out something from my old sketches. And then use the sketches, combining with my memories to paint a quick and spontaneous watercolor. It is kind of like my regular painting exercise. Sometimes I do get positive surprises. After painting for more than 30 years, I have realized that our human memory is truly powerful. We always strengthen our positive memories. The good foods I ate when I was young are always the best. And they don’t seem to taste the same anymore. When I go back to the same places and eat the same things, they kind of taste not as good. This kind of delusion is also great when it is applied in art. It fully strengthens the interpretation of our subject matters. Our memory somehow selective strengthens what we like. I often feel it when I paint spontaneously in watercolor. I truly enjoy this kind of working process.
