這個星期觀察了許多花朵和植物，去看了莫內展，也意外發現台北故事館前的英式花園，本來還苦惱凱特琳娜的生日禮物要畫甚麼題材，結果下雨的週末，坐在書桌前鬼畫符時，靈感就這麼來了。雖然我偏愛大太陽天，但是雨中的花園畫起來特別詩意，而凱特剛好是植物學的專家，今年就讓花朵們祝她生日快樂囉！
This week I’ve been observing numerous flowers and plants. I checked out the lovely exhibition of Monet’s water lily paintings and accidentally found the gorgeous English garden in front of Taipei Story House. I was still wondering what I should draw for Caterina’s birthday gift. Fortunately, on the rainy Saturday, I was struck by a superb inspiration while doodling at my desk. Though I prefer sunny gardens, but the rainy ones are especially poetic. And Caterina happens to be a botanist, so why not let the flowers wish her a wonderful birthday!
