徐明义画集（六）—佛手柑（彩墨）

佛手柑（彩墨）

这张画是用包装纸画就的。原本是用来包衣物及皮件的纸，皱皱的，把纸摊平，洒上水，再用熨斗烫平。虽则不十分平整，但也可以拿来作画了。

画什么好呢？

前些日子，去乡下闲步，在一户人家的屋檐下看到他们用大塑胶桶装上泥土种着佛手柑，树丛上已然结实累累。佛手柑的果实成熟了，黄色的果皮十分亮丽耀眼，忍不住弯下腰来仔细端详一番。

就画佛手柑吧。

种佛手柑的主人说佛手柑爱干净，如果不洁的人摸了它，从此以后，它就不再开花结果了，不知道是不是真的？

Bergamot/ink and color painting

This painting was made on packaging paper. The paper was originally used to wrap clothing and leather goods. I spread out the creased paper, sprinkled some water on it, and ironed it flat. Although not completely flat, it can be used for painting.

And what did I decide to paint?

I went to the countryside to take a walk a few days ago. I saw that the people at one house had planted bergamots in large plastic buckets filled with soil, and that the trees were bearing lots of fruit. The yellow skin of ripe bergamots is extremely striking. I felt impelled to bend over and take a good look at the trees and fruit.

So I decided to paint bergamots.

The owner of the bergamot trees said that bergamots love cleanliness, and a tree that has been touched by an unclean person will no longer have flowers or bear fruit. I have no idea whether this is true or not.＠
