《 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  symbolism  of four  koi - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 The symbolism of four koi - The stories and thoughts behind our painting《The  symbolism  of four koi - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter》  (One of our spiritual self-healing thoughts)  In our four paintings, four koi fishes represent spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Four koi fishes' energies are diligence, perseverance, productivity,   and preparation. The four seasons come back year after year, but the ode of the four seasons is always the latest. Spring is the season of life. Flowers blooming, birds soaring in the sky. When we put our faith in our hearts and strive to create miracles, we will have the vitality and enthusiasm to ignite the fire of life. We will make wise decisions and practical plans, and we will always move forward. We go to the suburbs to breathe fresh air, watch the white clouds in the blue sky and listen to the birds singing. The lotu...

《Discovery Bay's Summer, That Quiet Beach》 Painted by dawnxisoul393 Early that morning, we were sketching on the shore of Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It was a quiet morning in Discovery Bay in summer. The green belt was lush with grass and green trees, and the unique landscape of the subtropical island was very obvious. The pavilions and balustrades mingle with the nearby buildings, forming an exquisite painting of a modern seaside city. Passing through the lush strip park, we arrived at the beach, and at once, the beautiful seascape opened up before us. We took a short break on the shore, prepared our painting tools, and had a great time. In front of us was an endless sea, and the wide sea against the blue sky and white clouds was a delight to the mind. In the morning light, our hearts instantly became transparent, and for a while, it was as if all the stress of life had sunk into the vast sea. We looked far away and let last night's dream stretch out on the sea...
