The image of the flowers in the painting is also more plump, the lotus flowers above are blooming luxuriantly, the lotus stems are stretched out, much higher than the surrounding lotus leaves, the lotus leaves are no longer the arch guardians of the lotus, but support the dew drops below, becoming the noble and upright existence of the lotus flowers.

As far as the eye can see, there are countless lotus buds near and far in the picture, and it is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

If the lotus flower in the center is Xiao Yao's self-projection, then these many lotus flowers are countless talented contemporaries in Xiao Yao's eyes.

The little frog that leaps and preys on is the finishing touch, injecting dynamic vitality into the static lotus pond. The contrast between tranquility and vividness adds to the artistic appeal.

After appreciating "The Girl Who Reads", Lin Yuxuan and Cheng Yu already have a deep understanding of Xiao Yao's painting level, but after watching this "Lotus Pond Frog", the two of them are still very excited.

Lin Yuxuan exclaimed: "It is another museum-level masterpiece, whether it is the use of painting techniques or the embodiment of artistic conception, it has reached the peak of excellence, which is really breathtaking." ”

Cheng Yu also said: "It's so shocking! Appreciating your works is simply a supreme enjoyment, after reading these two works of yours, although I can't improve my painting skills all at once, but it shows me the way I want to go in the future, I think the harvest is very great, thank you." ”

This sentence of thanks, Cheng Yu said very sincerely.

Xiao Yao took the opportunity to say: "You have a deep foundation in Chinese painting, my painting style can indeed give you a good reference, if Miss Cheng doesn't think my level is poor, we can communicate more in the future." ”

"The two of us have known each other for a long time, isn't the title of Mr. Miss a little too unfamiliar?" She didn't think it before, but now Cheng Yu feels that such a title is a bit too alienated, and she doesn't like it.

Xiao Yao hit the snake with the stick, "I also think this kind of title is too blunt, the two of us are old friends, so how about calling each other by name directly in the future?"

"Okay, then I will call you Xiao Yao directly, you will call me Cheng Yu directly, I will definitely have to ask you for advice in the future, and it is also appropriate to call you Teacher Xiao, don't bother me. Cheng Yu already admires Xiao Yao's painting level.

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Don't call me Mr. Xiao, we are friends, you can just call me by my name in the future, you are very talented in painting, and the two of us will communicate with each other and promote each other in the future." ”

"Xiao Yao, don't be modest, if you have time, then give more guidance to Xiaoyu. Lin Yuxuan interjected, "Just like you said, Xiaoyu's painting talent is indeed very high, I think your painting technique is very suitable for her to learn, I hope you can take a little more time to guide her." ”

"Lin Lao, don't worry, I am still very leisurely in my usual times, I have a lot of time, and I welcome Cheng Yu to come to my house as a guest at any time, we learn from each other and improve each other. Xiao Yao agreed.

"You don't need to be so polite, although Xiaoyu has a good talent, her current level is still far behind, and compared to a master like you who pioneered the genre, it is even less worth mentioning. This style of painting of yours is very suitable for her to learn, after all, it is a new genre, once she can learn something, although her future achievements cannot be compared with yours, but she will definitely be able to occupy a certain position in the history of art. Lin Yuxuan's evaluation of Xiao Yao is not high.

"You think too highly of me, it's not certain that my painting style will be recognized by the art world, but now I'm just entertaining myself. Xiao Yao said this not only modestly, but also realistically.

Although he is very confident in his own level of painting, the emergence of new painting techniques and new genres is never smooth sailing, and it will certainly not be a complete praise, but will inevitably be accompanied by opposition and denigration.

Once interests are involved in anything, there will inevitably be contention and fighting. The emergence of a new genre of painting, once accepted by the art world, represents immeasurable benefits.

Lin Yuxuan is very confident, "I don't think it's a big problem, real art will not be buried." This style of painting is in line with the mainstream aesthetic view, and aside from the painting technique, the embodiment of imagery in your work is too strong, and in this respect surpasses any previous painting genre. ”

"The pursuit of the presentation of imagery and the expression of emotions, no matter how history develops, will not change at this point. It is precisely because of this eternal pursuit that countless schools of painting have been born. And the people who can reach this level of art are all famous masters, and you have already done that. I am very pleased and proud to have such an amazing and brilliant master young painter as you in our country. Lin Yuxuan made no secret of his admiration for Xiao Yao.

"You think too highly of me, I'm still young, I really don't dare to be. Being so praised by a contemporary master like Lin Yuxuan, Xiao Yao is still a little weak-hearted.

"What is there to dare not be, young people are humble, but there is no need to be arrogant. This style of painting of yours is in line with the mainstream aesthetic viewpoint, not the kind of unconventional style, even if there are some different voices, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Lin Yuxuan felt that he had the responsibility to promote Xiao Yao, a young master hidden in the people, thought about it, and said: "We have cooperation between CAFA and Bali Academy of Fine Arts, and next month Bali Academy of Fine Arts will launch a joint exhibition of contemporary artists, and I can recommend these two works of yours." The scale and influence of this exhibition are very large, and the works of contemporary oil painting masters from many countries have been exhibited, and I believe that these two works of yours will definitely be a blockbuster in the exhibition. I think it's a great opportunity, what do you think?"

The Bali Academy of Fine Arts is the world's No. 1 art academy, holding such a heavyweight art exhibition, each exhibited work is a rare opportunity to display, Xiao Yao believes that there are definitely not many places to participate in the domestic exhibition. Even for a master like Lin Yuxuan, the opportunity to recommend works for exhibition must be precious.

He really owes a lot of favor!

Xiao Yao is not a pedantic person, good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, such a display opportunity for the world, it is too rare, he likes painting, if he can promote his works to the world, he is happy to see it.

"It's such a rare opportunity, and if I don't agree, I don't know how to lift it. Xiao Yao said sincerely, "Old Lin, thank you!"
