我喜欢山，自然有很多的理由。苍茫宇宙，浩渺乾坤，芸芸众生，可以入画的不少，而我现在就是想画山，画我内心的山川，画我理解的山川。

　　画之所以能引起他人的共鸣，就因为这其中隐藏着一个人的生命密码。隐藏着一个人的经历、性格、情感、思想，正所谓画如其人。

　　从我的艺术经历而言，自考入湖南师大美术学院始，中间经历师范教书、下海经商、高考培训到走上职业油画艺术之路，搞过书法、篆刻、画水彩、水墨，玩古玩收藏。我对于自己的“杂家”身世并不自惭形秽，反而处之泰然，我行我素，这样一来，倒比较真实，画出了不同于别人只属于我自己的画，假若从我的油画中看出水彩、水墨的痕迹，或认为这些画有自己的“风格”，这一切只是我放之任之，自然流露的结果。

　　油画发展到今天，并不只有写实再现的功能。好的艺术作品，都是性情、感觉的载体。现在时兴写实、表现、抽象、意象诸多流派，有人问我，我的油画属于哪一种?我不能界定，我喜欢纸上画，很过瘾。想怎么画便怎么画，想画什么便是什么。至于属于什么画种或画派，我无须多想。画其实是一种气质、一种人生理念、一种生活方式、一种思维习惯在载体上的体验。艺术大师们的创造精神，性情流露;人生感悟中平常淡泊、超凡脱俗的气质才是我心向往的心境。

　　我感觉在油画这个世界里，真是一个奇妙无比的世界，我还有许多要探求玩味的东西，这个世界才是我真正的归宿。

2008年于长沙太平老街

　　I like the mountains,and there are a lot of reasons. Although there are vast universe, the vast course of events, all mortal beings can be a lot of paintings, now I just want to paint mountains, the beautiful mountains in my heart and I can understand .

　　The reason why art can be caused by other people's sympathy, because it hides a code of person's life , experience, character, emotion and thought, as the saying goes, as it were painted.

　　As to my experience of art, I have entered into Academy of Fine Arts of Hunan Normal University and tought there,have done business,have trained the students for college entrance examination,finally I have became metier artist and refered to calligraphy, seal carving, painting watercolor, ink and antique collectors.I’m not feel ashamed for my "miscellaneous",on the contrary,I take it easy,and I will go on in my way that the ture self,so I can draw different paintings from others.If you can see something about watercolor, ink marks or the styles belong to you,the reason is that I have done it in my style and shown temperament naturally.

　　The development of oil today, good works not only are a realistic representation,but also the carrier of temperament and sense. Now realism, performance, abstract image are popular,and somebody asked me ,which one does my painting belong to? I can’t define, because I like paint on paper as I thought,it’s belong to what I painted. In fact, painting is a kind of temperament, a philosophy of life, a way of life, a habit of thinking in the carrier's experience. The state of mind in my heart is the spirit of creation ,the show of temperament ,the common and indifference in life and extraordinary temperament.

　　There is a marvelous world in oil world. I want to explore many interesting things in the world and this is my real home.
