Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001,I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died,so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father,or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case,I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(風(fēng)景畫) much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reason,I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolours again,but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth,who quickly became my favourite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolours to be the closest to how I thought good watercolours should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However,watercolours remained my first choice,and I think I did my best work there,showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world,and it is wonderful to have some time doing what
I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
