Two day age when I finished work in the late afternoon, my toddler boy was still sleeping. I went to look after him, and by the way I drew him sleeping. As the picture looked to be a bit boring, I applied imagination to draw myself sitting next to him, waving hands to sing lullaby, as what I usually did at night. I showed my picture to other family, but they were all confused about what I was doing.
Lullaby time, what a sweet moment for a little one and his dad! But it is a pity that people can't understand it from my drawing, and that is why I tried a second time. In the early morning of the next day, I couldn't sleep and woke up very early to paint another picture of lullaby time. I got rid of all toys on the bed this time, leaving just me and the little boy, Then I filled the upper space of the paper with a starring night! Then this time they all knew what I was painting and the lullaby was the nursery rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
I began to know the power of imagination in painting, as though it is not real it make the real more understandable.
