[art]: The silent waiting

The silent waiting, 2008, oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm

Living in a fast-moving city, the faster we act, the longer and harder we feel while we are waiting. Everyday, I spend time on waiting for lift, waiting for bus to work, waiting for leaving the office, waiting for bus to go home. When I am waiting for bus, I see others are waiting also. When I am on the bus and passing through the bus stops, I see others are waiting also. It is a common experience for many of us living in a city, yet we usually do not realize.

Many people, include me, are impatient while waiting. However, when I put myself out of the waiting situation, somehow, I feel the scene of waiting attract me so much. The motionless silence creates a sense of poetry and another beauty of the city. I appreciate the slight silent sensation in such a hustling city, which they are contrary to each other and coexist in the same scene.

This is my first art work created in CKWL. To myself, I found something out of my expectation before which I enjoyed very much, yet somehow this work is not a very complete one. Keep painting.
