Text/Li Qing
Like to paint is from small to large feelings, whenever the pen holder, the slightest wisp of comfort with the pouring of pen and ink and more thick and clear, holding a brush every day has become a habit, just like three meals a day, eat less hungry panic. As an art teacher, holding a paintbrush in your hand is like holding a magic wand, teaching students the spell of beauty and expressing the emotions in their hearts with pictures. Every day I paint, teach, do what I like, and my heart is full of happiness. My daughter often picked up my brush and stared at a pair of big eyes and said, "Mom, let's draw, I brush and brush." He said while waving his little arm. How wonderful life is! There are a pair of children, a lovely family, a student to teach, a book to read, and a painting to draw. What more could you ask for?
Because of my love and sincerity, I choose education; because I yearn for freedom and flying, I choose painting!

The children shown in the work are relatively pure and natural, and the children in the field feel very pure, full of love for life and the exploration of beautiful things, full of curiosity. The author conveys a kind of peace and coolness of the soul by expressing the innocence of children. I think this is a good performance for purifying people's hearts and providing people's spiritual food, which is a good performance for society and individuals, and through painting, awakening people's love for nature and pinning down their beautiful feelings.

As a young painter, Li Qing's way of seeing the world is not fierce, but peaceful and kind, full of ordinary people's expectations for life. As far as the works in this exhibition are concerned, her creative selection can be roughly summarized as: spring blossoms, children play carefreely, the breeze rises, and the curtains of the windows are lifted. Overall, her work is clean and tidy, the composition is neat and symmetrical, and it is not dangerous. With her solid basic skills, she found beauty in the positive aspects of life, and painted them truthfully, what she saw was what she got, and finally formed a "writing environment" that was close to the ideal.
This artistic interest of the artist is inseparable from her status as a teacher. As a teacher, the belief and pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty are fully expressed in the picture, and the children of the sun, the flowers that bloom quietly, the swing and the butterflies sway together, which is the hill in the artist's chest and the reality reflection of her artistic ideals. If an art teacher who is struggling in the front line of education and has achieved great results is a copy of "The Flower of Evil", then we should worry.
The pressure of economy and survival makes everyone feel that classical temperament and life struggle cannot coexist, and in the artist Li Qing, this is not a problem. She is a tireless people's teacher, has a clear plan for career and life, and she is also a classical and elegant female painter, her artistic pursuit of perfection is not harsh, the tone is not too bright and not gray, and the people and things she writes are as beautiful as spring.
The emphasis on the basic skills of Chinese painting artists and the training of traditional techniques of gongbi painting will not make an artist lose the right to dialogue with new things in the change of the times. On the contrary, Li Qing's artistic practice once again proves that only by mastering traditional Chinese techniques can we "old bottles of new wine" and paint a sense of the times on traditional themes such as characters, flowers and birds, and be more comfortable. Instead of falling into the old paper pile and blindly imitating the antique, using the brush of the new era, some yellowed character scrolls, flowers and birds are produced.
