3 colors of ink on paper
size: ??? a little on the small side

I drew this picture for my calligraphy teacher. Our last class is on Wednesday.
I guess at first this looks like a regular nature drawing, but I designed it with several different layers of symbolism in mind: First and most obvious is the birds and the mountain in the background are all Colorado residents, like the students in our class. Likewise, each of us students has a symbol-- the magpie (me), the Steller's jay, the swallow, and the pine tree, and each symbol has another meaning: the pine tree symbolizing a wish; the magpie, happiness; the jay, good people; and the swallow, the ability to fly towards heaven.

这部画是送给书法老师的。这星期五是我们最后一节课。这三只鸟、松树和山都是科罗拉多州的---像我们班的学生一样。喜鹊象征我、松鸦象征白西月（一个同学，头发很酷^_^)、燕子象征芮燕（另外一个同学）、松树象征戴杰希（另外一个同学，是因为他的名字用“希”的字）。喜鹊还有快乐的意思、松鸦象征热情的人、松树是希望的意思、燕子是心能飞到天堂的意思。所以这部画就是希望书法老师能天天快乐，碰到很多热情的人，心飞到天堂，此外，希望他要到科罗拉多来看我们。
