Morning Glory In The Summer （Chinese painting） 牵牛花

Speaking of morning glory, I always think of the summer days , I used to see it in the corner of the yard and fence in my childhood.

Flowers are all kinds of colours, which are bright. Such as red, pink,purple and blue. Although it is a kind of wild flower,blooming on the side of the paths crisscrossed in the fields, it is very attractive. My friends and I couldn't resist picking a few flowers, enjoying and playing.

We wore flowered cotton dress, listenning to the chirping of cicadas, running after dragonfly, all these are fresh in my memory.

I like morning glory. I think in our life, our childhood, our youth just like the morning glory, which bloom in the morning and fades before noon. They are both ephemeral and beautiful.

The Process:

1、Use a brush,paint flower with rouge and eosin.

用胭脂和曙红，画出花朵和花苞。

2、Use another bush to paint the stylet. And use another brush to paint the receptacle with ink.

花身颜色浅一点，然后在用墨画出花托。

3、 Paint the spray with ink.

接着画出花枝。

4、Paint these leaves with light and dark ink.

再画上叶子。无论是画画，饮食还是其他方面，中国讲究阴阳结合。所以叶子的墨色要有变化，又深有浅。

5、Paint a dragonfly, as if they say “good morning”to each other.

画上一只小蜻蜓，仿佛它们在问候早安。

6、Finally, paint the vein. It is done.

最后勾叶脉。红色的牵牛花就完成了。

绿蔓如藤不用栽，
淡青花绕竹篱开。
披衣向晓还堪爱，
忽见蜻蜓带露来。

一提到牵牛花，就会想起小时候的夏天，经常在院子的角落里，篱笆栅栏上看到它。花的颜色很多，有红色的，紫色的，蓝色的，特别鲜艳漂亮。虽然是一种野花，静悄悄的开在路旁，确十分惹人喜爱。小伙伴们总忍不住摘上几朵，边玩边欣赏。记忆中的夏天，穿着花裙子，听着蝉鸣，追着蜻蜓，总是那么美好。

我喜欢牵牛花，更喜欢叫它喇叭花。

还记得那个童谣吗？

小小牵牛花呀，

开满竹篱笆呀。

一朵连一朵呀，

吹起小喇叭。

.........

相对于整个人生来说，每个人的童年，青春，不就像是这盛开的牵牛花吗？开在清晨，中午之前闭合。散发着生命的活力，短暂而美丽。
