打不完的死結

日常生活中處處都會遇到不愉快，因此處處都有可能”打死結”。

例如今日出外吃飯，被人用水潑到。如對那杯水窮追不放，以及投訴上告，每一步必然會遇到反彈，那麼，每一個反彈都成了下一步反擊的理由。反之，如果被碰撞卻不加計較，居然還為對方著想，說笑幾句便輕輕走開，倒是失去了理由。縱然有千條萬條理由，越抽越緊的死結，究竟會對哪一方面帶來任何好處呢?

南非

在南非約翰內斯堡逗留，上午睡懶覺，中午閒逛特式小店，下午在開放式咖啡廳坐一坐。呼吸著春夏之交的空氣，樹下路面鋪滿落英。到了傍晚則換衣服出去看表演，喝著雪利酒吃魚子醬單方三文治，晚上又在小酒吧嘗嘗當地產的紅酒，到了第二天，從頭再來一遍。那是多麼奢侈的日子。

Marriage

"Getting married is very much like going to a continental restaurant with friends: You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.

After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you." And the husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice it."

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife."

朋友結婚了

送給一對新人，祝願他們甜甜蜜蜜，百年琴瑟。"老婆訓話時要立正站好，低頭懺悔；老婆購物時要勇於付款，義不容辭；老婆生氣時要跪地求饒，懇求開恩；老婆給錢時要含淚感激，省吃儉用；如果發現太太有錯，一定是你看錯。總之，自從結了婚，一切都是你的錯。"

偶遇

我沒有回頭，我想男人也沒有回頭，

我想男人也在想我沒有回頭，

我想男人也在想我想他沒有回頭……

水塘的小魚

水塘裡剛來了心思細密的小魚，開始的幾天，小魚發現主人每日都準時在下午五時正拿飼料餵牠。但這小魚可不是妄下結論的小魚，牠每天記錄了主人周圍的資料: 天氣的或晴或暗；氣溫、濕度的高低；主人的喜怒哀樂等等。經過了多個月來的極繁瑣的考察，小魚發現不論周圍的環境有何種變化，主人總是五時正餵牠的。

這樣，小魚終於立下結論 – 主人必定是五時正餵牠。

也在牠得出結論的同一天，剛好是新年，主人在五時正把小魚宰了。

Process of oil painting

The process of oil painting varies from artist to artist, but often includes certain steps.













First, I prepares the surface. Although surfaces like linoleum, wooden panel, and cardboard have been used, the most versatile surface is canvas. Many famous paintings were painted on panel (Da Vinci's Mona Lisa).

Next I might sketch an outline of their subject prior to applying pigment to the surface. The pigment is mixed with oil, usually linseed oil but other oils may be used as well. The various oils dry differently creating assorted effects.













Then I paint in layers, use this layer to sketch out the composition. After this layer dries, one way I might then proceed is by painting a "mosaic" of color swatches, working from darkest to lightest.

A basic rule of oil paint application is 'fat over lean.' This means that each additional layer of paint should be a bit oilier than the layer below.


Done.
