這是《野地的花》，我在創作這幅畫時，耳邊響起了這首詩歌:
《野地的花，穿著美麗的衣裳，天空的鳥兒，從來不為生活忙，慈愛的天父，天天都看顧，祂更愛世上人，為他們預備永生的路。》
聖經上說，【….何必為衣裳憂慮呢。你想野地裡的百合花，怎麼長起來，她也不勞苦，也不紡線；….野地裡的草，今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡， 神還給他這樣的妝飾，何況你們呢。 所以不要憂慮，說，喫甚麼，喝甚麼，穿甚麼。….你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。】
你看這幅畫，我用充滿能量的紅、澄、黃，加上白色，將她們熱烈地交織在一起，就像一場絢爛的爆發。我不想要精緻描繪的輪廓，我要的是那一股原始、無法馴服的力量。這就是野地的花的特性——上天賦予了她們超強的生命力。
然而，那種超強的生命力，就是我們內在最原始、最堅韌的潛能。
有時候，我們總是在尋找外在的肯定，計算著我們缺乏的資源，卻忘了上天的賜予也相當的豐富。那些被我們視為理所當然的新鮮空氣、無私灑落的雨水與陽光，其實就是最豐盛的生命底蘊，讓我們得以靠著它們就能存活，甚至茁壯。
請看畫面裡四周圍粗獷、濃重的黑色邊框，就像是我們在生活中無可避免會遇到的柵欄——也許是突如其來的命運考驗、也許是世俗眼光中的失敗、也許是環境對我們的重重限制。很多時候，我們只看見了那道黑色柵欄的冰冷與堅硬，誤以為它可以攔住我們的去路。
但這幅畫想告訴你一個截然不同的視角：黑色柵欄 攔不住這股上天賦予的強的生命力的！你看，這些鮮豔的生命力，早已突破了黑色柵欄的束縛，在中央，在遠方，在各處全然盛開。
我想藉由這幅畫告訴你，上天給我們的生命能量，是遠遠大於這些黑色柵欄的限制。
當你站在這幅畫前，我希望你不要只看見色彩的繽紛，更能感受到那一股突破重圍、不屈不撓的堅實力量。
願我們都能擁有野地的花一樣的超強生命力，領受並珍惜上天的賜予，勇敢地開出屬於自己的一片豐盛，讓任何世俗的黑色柵欄，都攔不住我們靈魂的全然盛開，並在平安喜樂中向前!

“Welcome. This piece is titled ‘Flowers of the Field.’ While creating this painting, the words of a beautiful hymn kept echoing in my ears:
‘The flowers of the field are dressed in beautiful clothes; the birds of the air never worry about their livelihood. Our loving Heavenly Father watches over them day by day, and He loves the people of this world even more, preparing for them the path to eternal life.’
Scripture says: ‘And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin… If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you?… So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?”… for your heavenly Father knows that you need them.’
Look at the canvas. I used high-energy reds, oranges, yellows, and whites, intertwining them passionately like a gorgeous, wild explosion. I didn’t want clean, delicate outlines. What I wanted to capture was a raw, untamable power. This is the true nature of the flowers of the field—the universe has gifted them with an unstoppable life force.
And that unstoppable life force is actually the most primitive, resilient potential locked inside each of us. Sometimes, we spend all our time searching for validation from the outside, constantly calculating the resources we lack, while completely forgetting just how abundantly the Divine has already provided for us. The fresh air, the selfless rain, and the sunshine that we take for granted—these are actually the richest foundations of life, allowing us to survive and even thrive on them alone.
Now, notice that rugged, heavy black border framing the scene. It acts just like the fences we inevitably run into in real life—perhaps a sudden trial of fate, a failure in the eyes of society, or the heavy restrictions of our environment. Most of the time, we only see the coldness and hardness of that black fence, mistakenly believing it can block our path.
But this painting wants to show you a completely different perspective: a black fence can never hold back the divine life force gifted to us! Look closely—these vibrant bursts of life have long broken free from the shackles of the black fence. In the center, in the distance, and everywhere across the canvas, they are blooming in full glory.
Through this brushwork, I want to tell you that the life energy given to us by the Heavenly Father is far greater than any restriction a black fence can impose.
When you stand in front of this painting, I hope you see more than just a festival of colors. I want you to feel that solid, unyielding strength that breaks through every siege. May we all possess that same unstoppable life force of the flowers of the field. Let’s receive and treasure the divine gifts, bravely blooming into our own unique abundance. Let no worldly black fence ever stop our souls from opening completely, as we move forward in perfect peace and joy.”
