以定国之格局定画之格局,历代开国,皆不以手段,大刀阔斧,如雷之势,开疆拓土,先定疆域,再立制度;凡托土之时,易速不易拖沓,立国以急功,治之则缓缓!
画者习此道数载,无以面目,必是无大志之徒,附他人壳,以实口腹!
面目初定,必有得失,急功校正,慢施完善,补之华滋,筑其体制,养以厚德,拓可垂泽,存于当下,立邦万代!区区百年,斗转之际已无可寻,人若烟云,氤氲散时,尽为尘土;情之关切忆之数载,岁月之迁亦淡然;意之绵长抚若和绪,朝露间化作故事!精神存留间,生发出此许!画可以任意为之,技亦可以隨心施之,但精神定要存于画中,无此主心,何以为画:如人之一世,草木三秋,皮毛将衰,骨肉亦朽,后人可念故人几何,可悼哀灵几日,可考先祖几时!时光如影般渐去,留下之物若有新物即易之,若有新思即弃之,若有新景随代之,若有新人则欢之!唯有精神幻化之物,若丝般延之!画无面目,不日将被遗之弃之;无有风骨,更无提及之举。要用开疆拓土之举为画,用辅国定制之思作画,用千古一邦之魄为画,用万代开宗之则成画!
不做他人之笔奴,更不做他人之笔墨走狗!画如棋,在格局而定成败。棋之道,黑白二分,九宫为营,以位之上成局之优劣,故高手落子,不在多,而在乎关健,往往数子以定全局;个中气眼存其阴阳,由此可见格局之关健。黑白二子,变化万千,却处处惊险,和之在乎表,而其根本已刀兵相见;但知表中之和如山高水长,其争在于位,关乎之位,据理力争,走马之所,随它度支!棋局如画,以墨入纸,黑白得亦,以水为之,滋润足矣,以位权之,格局定也,点划布之,疏朗明也;关键皆存,运筹把握,可生华姿!
画之目的决其高下,其一:因其较他业轻松,无他之追求,以色娱目,或以技巧炫之,以画之技做糊口之根本;其二:用心研磨,勤勉为之,由个人才情所限,画虽上雅致,却不与品级之作所列,其画已可观矣!其三:画为其命,日思夜想,尽力为之,才情亦足,把画事做为生命,但缺少使命,以个人的小画为之,不知画道乃大道;其四:才情具足,画法别具,上研古今,下达百代,于画坛独树,可谓先订面目,再订造诣,于百代开一先河,学古冠今,于画中鼎鼎,此等角色已可立于百代之列;其五:个人天性绝顶,大智若愚,于画于品皆可楷模,附有使命,对画理有所突破,对古今之画业有新认识,对后世画事,有标杆指示做用!画之五类,世人大多以前两类立身,画亦不高,世人观之,亦如脂粉美人,艳乳肥臀!本缺少内涵,又不为素颜国色,权靠露透之举,涂摸之功,娱人耳目,不知尽为其色相折腰,损其天年!
我有画识,面目当先立!立则画存,似则做他人嫁衣,存在之根本是人的品质,有独立人格,在画上亦立场鮮明,不以他人好恶定自已取舍!有开拓者定天下,历代顺者,皆为能才,可治小域,怎可理大国!故激扬之人或可开疆立国,或可壮士付死!画亦同理,不谓千古之一目,绘其何!自古画以品定,画之纯粹可观画之高下,或以情趣娱之,或以色惑之,或以扛鼎之力激之,或以东施效之,皆不能入能者法眼!画应立已观,立已品,立已面目,立定则如人生品性,有血有肉,有爱有恨,自是生动;无些品格亦如一张空皮,涂脂抹粉,娱人耳目,画皮使人好其色,但其根本非其真性,常人不识,必受其累!画以气韵当先,气韵高雅,如白发仙翁,鹤发童颜,气韵清致,如邻家小妹,清新可人,气韵雄强,如国之仪士,甘胆付死:故气韵当立,品修韵生,皆由心起,气脉发之,动天憾地!画之气韵,如人之气脉,生发之刚正,可立人,生发之小巧,可立家,生发之乖巧,可立事,生发之贱伪,可立命,天道恢恢,正气荡然!
画要宗法于自然,过似太媚,不似太野!似与不似间最难把握,古人已将形似之技控之传神,今之时亦不需复之,更无需如像机般仿之,做古人已完之事,要有发展,方才对得起先贤,不求人夸颜色好,只留清气满乾坤当是人品,亦是画品!

做自己亦是错总比校他人让人来得真实自然!中国画之墨法在于心而不在于笔,明心见性可窥一斑!墨之盈与池水,未散将散,透可观于底,明可晓于分,辦乎轻重,得其愚浊;其墨散之为淡,聚之过焦,笔墨之透如春之初翠,暮之晓雾,源之彻底,心之高洁,士之肝胆,国之厚载,天之祥和,岁之醇丰!雨初济于荒泽,地将湿未湿,将透未透,试之润物,践之不沾鞋履,方为润,过之为湿,不及则度之不及!观天地之经纬,校典章之方寸,度时局之关乎,辩取舍之悬壶!审时度事方知天地之变,画之处处皆存天地,刻意为之,方圆相济,去古存今,物我两非!
