Description
For many people, this might not be an unfamiliar sight: the famous Lake Louise in Banff, Canada. A search on the web reveals hundreds of paintings already done with this “super” gaze. I have indeed been immersed in this real scene in many trips to the place before but this was the first time I had a go with painting it while watching my boys canoeing in the water – hence the subject of many boats on the lake. My early fantasy of Lake Louise interestingly came from a Chinese love story novel of the same title written in 1978 with the following beautiful description of the place:
“Why is this lake so colourful? Across the lake is pink green, in the middle, emerald green and nearer the shore, dark green; one can even see the white pebbles on the bottom… How I wish to jump inside and embrace a rainbow of full colours!”
對許多人來說，位於加拿大冰府露意湖這一块著名的風景並不陌生，網上也隨時可找到數百幅畫這景點的作品。我到過這裡多次，但這是我第一次在露意湖的寫生，還邊看著我的小孩們在湖中划艇，所以畫中有許多獨木舟。我對露意湖最早的幻想，源自作家東方白1978年同名的長篇愛情小說，書中對湖光山色的美景有如此的描述:
「這湖為什麼如此多彩？對岸是粉綠，湖心是翠綠，近岸則是透明的墨綠，還看得 見湖底白色的石卵……我多想投入湖中，摟抱滿懷彩麗的虹！」
