Today, painters begin with their personal experience. Chan Chien-yu, chairman of the Department of Fine Arts at Tunghai University, paints water lilies with full blossoms and leaves, because many water lilies float in the ponds on campus. And didn't Liao Chi-chun, a leading painter among the last generation of Taiwan artists, who grew up in Taichung, also paint water lilies?!
今天畫家也由自己經驗出發，因為學校水塘漂浮許多睡蓮，東海大學美術系主任詹前裕也畫花、葉皆圓滿自足的睡蓮；生長台中的台灣前輩畫家廖繼春不也畫睡蓮！
