Pursuing my Dream

Paul Bo Yi Lin

林博逸

2010的暑假我在台灣開始學習畫圖。開始時我先用蟣筆和一些水彩，試過油畫後我最喜歡它。剛開始的一些圖畫都是我比較喜歡的事物或者是我的一些想法。我還記得我用我的手掌沾上碳粉後，用手腕畫成樹幹，再用手指構成樹枝和樹葉，畫成一顆黑白色的樹。大自然是多麽的奇妙，我想用我的畫作來呈現我心中想像大自然的美。

透過圖畫和寫作可以把我心中的想法表達出來。在我開始油畫之前，我先寫了一些插圖的故事書，例如一些水果人的故事書。而且每頁都配合文字和圖畫。剛開始時插圖畫得比較簡單，但是後來就畫得越仔細顏色也越多彩續紛了。

我一直持續的努力使自己在畫畫和寫作能夠進步。因爲我知道那會改善我將來的前途。我也希望我的技巧能夠更進步，那我就更有自信心了。我喜歡學習寫作和畫圖，因爲那能夠證明我是有能力做這些事情的。我希望讓人知道看到我寫的書和我的畫作，那麽就能夠瞭解我是怎麽樣成長的。

我從來不放棄要讓自己進步，我要繼續追求我的夢想。這本書主要的目的是收集我的畫作。每一幅畫作都描述了我的想法。將來我或任何人都可以看到這本畫冊記錄著我的畫作和想法。

I first started painting while I was in Taiwan during the summer of 2010. I made some drawings with chalk and did a little painting with watercolors. Some of my first paintings were of my favorite things or ideas. I remember making a black and white picture of a tree. I drew the tree by tracing the outline of my hand around my fingers and wrist. My fingers formed the branches, my wrist the trunk of the tree. The natural world is magical. I want to express how my imagination sees the beauty in nature.

I found that through writing and painting I could describe and show pictures I have in my mind. Before I started oil painting, I wrote and illustrated many picture books. I wrote many stories about things like fruit people, and matched each page of the story with pictures. At the beginning, some illustrations were very simple drawings, but as I made more books, they became more and more detailed and colorful.

I work hard to constantly improve my writing and painting because it will ensure my good future. I want to become more skillful which makes me feel more confident. I also like to paint and write because it shows what I am capable of doing. I want people to be able to see my books and paintings to understand how I have grown and how I never gave up trying to improve. I continued to pursue my dreams.

The purpose of this book is to catalog my paintings. I also wanted to write about what I was thinking when I made certain pictures. This book will be a record of my paintings and thoughts that I or anyone else can look at in the future.
