红汀（彩墨）
打从第四册个人专集开始，我都在画作的旁边搭配一些文字。
写这些文字主要的目的是记录作画当下的心境，画时的感觉，甚至于画画的过程。后来又觉得文字叙述稍有不足，甚或会重复而无新意，因此加写了一些“创作心得”；或一些个人的“创作理念”。也许有些文字的叙述和旁边搭配的画无甚相关，但仍是作者个人心情思绪的抒发──以此留下一些心音笔痕，雪泥鸿爪。
我常在上课时和学生谈论创作理念、技巧……等等，但因为没有记录下来，颇感遗憾。在这辑画册里，我们多谈一些，尔后的专集里更可放多一点，以便就教于方家。
Hongding/ink and color painting
I have always written some text beside my paintings starting from the fourth album of my work.
My purpose in writing these words is chiefly to record my thoughts at the time I made the painting, what I felt when I was painting, or even the process of making the painting. Afterwards, I felt that what I was writing was inadequate, and it often became a bit repetitious. As a consequence, I started adding some creative insights or words about my individual artistic philosophy. Although sometimes the text was not closely connected with the painting next to it, it still conveyed my feelings and thinking. This is how I preserve some tangible traces of my thinking.
I often discuss creative ideas and technique with my students in class, and I feel a bit of regret that I have never kept records of these discussions. There is more discussion in this album, and I’d like to put more in future albums, which will help attract more advice from experts and masters. ＠
