Many
people can paint, but the difficulty lies in bringing their artworks
to life. The colors must be well matched and beautiful, creating an
atmosphere of harmony. They should be close to reality, making the
original subject recognizable, yet there should be some uniqueness.
If you place iris flowers next to the painting, look carefully and
you can tell the difference. Master's flowers are more beautiful.
You can tell they are the same kind of flowers, but there is no exact
resemblance. This reveals Master's brilliance. If you want exact alikeness,
photographing would be more convenient and more realistic. The flowers
in this painting are so vivid and alive, as if they have just been
plucked. Very beautiful and alive. However, you cannot buy such plump
iris flowers as these.
