30 x 36 inches, 2021
There is an old house near my studio that I often walk by and I noticed that there are leaves turning from green to orange-red all over the walls. In the Fall, on a day after the rain, I saw the red leaves were falling in the wind, so after I returned to the studio, I captured them on my canvas immediately, in case I couldn’t see them at all anymore in winter.
在我画室不远的一栋老楼外，我来来回回的经过这里，看着那些叶子从绿色变成了橘红爬满了灰色的老墙，又是一秋天的雨后，那些红叶在一夜的风雨之后越来越少了，我就想如果我再不画下它们，真的就没了。
