《 The Setting  Sun 》 Painted by   dawnxisoul393   When we painted this picture on the beach, one moment the sun was shining, the next it was fine rain and mist, accompanied by a wind that often changed direction and drifted across the sky from time to time. We would not have been able to believe or imagine these changes if we had not experienced all this firsthand on the beach. This is the charm of the sea. We faced the sea, basking in the warm sunshine with the seagulls and listening to the sound of the waves lapping against the rocks. We stood on the beach, closed our eyes, opened our hands to touch the sea breeze, and quietly felt the gentleness of the sea. We played with the waves, kissed the sea breeze, and communicated with the cries of seagulls. All our worries disappeared and we felt relaxed and happy. The boundless sea is full of surging power.  Illustrated by dawnxisoul393 The waves splashed to the shore, and the sound of the waves, like a thrilling ocean s...

  《 A Happy Seagull Family》 By dawnxisoul393 Hong Kong's seagulls are mainly winter migratory birds and can be easily seen on remote outlying islands and in the wetlands of bays in winter and spring. However, for some unknown reasons, it is very difficult to see seagulls in Peng Chau on weekdays. To observe and sketch seagulls, we visited many places frequented by seagulls in winter and spring. They either fly over the sea or hover on the sandy beaches, and they also like to gather at the seashore where food is abundant. Seagulls are graceful and their feathers are as white as snow. The world of seagulls is serene and welcoming. Seagulls are like fallen leaves floating in the wind, telling of years gone by. Leaving behind heavy worries, the bright feathers cut through the crest of the waves, how calm! Seagulls' eyes are round and blue, and the blue, blue sea flickers in the pupils, they are sacred pots of treasure, the light source of thousands of pearls. Seagulls take the vast...

  《 Eagle Playing with Horse》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 Living on the land of Hong Kong and painting all kinds of scenes and scenery on the coast of Hong Kong, we are like two folk painters who travel through the coastal towns and beaches of Hong Kong, carrying painting tools on our backs, wandering around and painting everywhere. Although we have moved our home in Hong Kong from time to time, the location was always on the coast or not far from it. When we lived in Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, it was no exception. When we stayed at the beach, besides painting, reading, or writing, we were always observing the changes and movements of the sea and sea birds. The mysterious scenery of the sea was so fascinating, the sea brought us a lot of imagination and a lot of longing. We loved to watch the sunrise at sea, so we often got up very early. We often arrived at the shore before the sun rose, sitting on a huge reef on the beach and quietly waiting for the sunrise. Illustrated by dawn...

《The  Music from Heaven 》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 That afternoon we were painting on a beach on Peng Chau Island. It was early autumn. The breeze on the island was very cool. After crossing a path near the foot of the mountain, we came to a quiet beach. There are no people on the beach and not many ships on the sea. We seldom experience such a quiet sea and coast. We walked on the beach a little lonely and looked at the calm sea. The sea was blue and the breeze was blowing. The sky was blue, with only a few thin white clouds, like a little girl, wearing a beautiful blue dress and a thin white scarf. However, we had just painted for an hour and a half when the tide came. The back wave pushed the front wave, and the white wave rushed to the beach. Sound like thunder, momentum like a million horses running. As long as it was washed by the tide, the boulders on the shore seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.  Illustrated by dawnxisoul393 This rippling tide made us feel the inf...
