“Paradise” is a work created by painter Angela Lin while living in the countryside under the German Alps. This work records the artist’s mood and feelings while living in Germany and conveys the concept of “life is a vacation.” When the painter lived in Germany, she discovered every corner was like a work of art. No matter where she was, she always felt as relaxed and happy as if on vacation. The work presents a life attitude that does not require too much luxury and can feel comfortable with only the natural scenery and comfortable climate.

The painter said: “I realized the true meaning of life when I lived in Germany. Even at home, I can experience the joy of vacation.”

In the process of creation, the painter used the superposition technique, especially in representing rocky mountain walls. She used a light technique to add layers of paint layer by layer to show the mountain’s style in detail. Every gentle depiction brings the beauty of the mountains to come alive, showing the beauty of nature and inner peace.

“Paradise” is not only a reproduction of natural scenery but also an expression of the painter’s deep love for life and gratitude. It allows viewers to enjoy tranquility and joy while appreciating the work.

《鄉逸》是畫家林仙悅於德國阿爾卑斯山下的鄉村居住期間創作的作品，英文名為“Paradise”。這幅畫作承載了畫家在德國生活的心情與感受，並藉此傳達出「生活就是度假」的理念。畫家認為，在德國生活時，每一個角落都彷彿是一幅藝術品，無論身在何處，心情總是如度假般輕鬆愉快。畫作呈現了一種不需太多物質享受，僅憑大自然的景色與舒適的氣候便能感到自在的生活態度。

畫家表示：「我真正感受到什麼是人生，就是在德國感受到的。在那裡，即便在家中，也能體會到度假的愉悅心情。」

在創作過程中，畫家採用了色彩疊加的手法，特別是在岩石山壁的表現上，通過輕盈的筆觸，逐層疊加顏料，細緻地捕捉到山的質感與風貌。每一次輕輕的描繪，都讓山的美景躍然紙上，展現出自然之美與內心的平靜。

《鄉逸》不僅是對自然風光的再現，更是畫家內心深處對生活的熱愛與感恩之情的表達，讓觀者在欣賞作品的同時，也能感受到那份寧靜與喜悅。
