Fireflies.

 This painting was inspired by my experience when I stayed in the village near Rome with my friend two months ago. It was nearly midnight after we finished the dinner in the town, we had to go back to the bottom of the mountain where we lived. It was too dark to see a thing in the forest, but we still decided to grope the way to go back. There were hundreds thousands fireflies blinking on and off around us in this velvet dark surrounding, they glimmered a sparking crystal road for us, as if it would lead us to the other world. I think I will never forget what we saw that night, it was breathtakingly beautiful and very creepy at the same time. That was a truly unforgettable night.
