Dedicated to an amazing friend who always provides me with advice and encouragement. Every encounter I've had in Taitung has been magical, and this friend would naturally discuss drawing with me when I was still struggling with self-confidence in my creations. Learning about mountains, forests, plants, and creatures was just as natural with him.
Every conversation with him is like a refreshing breeze blowing through, clearing away any haze of discomfort. I will always remember how he didn't console or blame me when I was about to lose control, but instead reminded me to stay true to myself.
"Love genuinely if you want to love someone, and hate genuinely if you want to hate someone. Stay true to yourself."
These watercolor paints are like him, reflecting the shimmering of the river and sea, the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the colors that suit him best when he wears them, like a painting.
Wishing you all the best.
