長袖飄逸，曼陀羅玉臂，把玩滾滾球兒。

空際寧宓，藍靛由濃而淡，雅緻平靜。

蝴蝶雙雙，逸興盎然。

《閑樂》一系列水墨畫為曾彩雲女士於2021年下旬所創作。由靛藍由濃至淺渲染，遍及整個畫布，構圖雅致俐落，建置出一個寧靜的空間。飄飄長袖下，一隻曼陀羅圖紋的手，輕輕把玩各種小玩兒，蝴蝶或前或後陪伴在側一動一靜，形成一個逸趣滿然的畫面。

畫家透過簡潔筆觸，描繪著悠然自樂的片刻，讓人回歸心無罣礙的時空。並從中以藝術回應社會動向，雖此際疫情未止，各人無法暢通世界，隨意往返旅遊；然而，亦能反諸求己，讓我等拋卻浮躁，靜觀萬象，自細微處體悟悠閑之樂。身或在困，靈魂卻能翺翔天際。

Butterfly sleeves on her dainty arms wafting as she is dawdling with the toys.

The sky is calm and vibrant, blending with myriads of violet blues.

Butterflies flutter and dance in pairs, enjoying the time of their lives.

“Leisure”, a series of ink wash paintings, is created by Ms. Carroll Tsang in late-2021. Shades of blue flourish the canvas, blending and parting together. With elegant and neat composition, the paintings create a tranquil and serene space. Under the fluttering sleeves is her arm with mandala tattoo, toying with trinkets. A couple of butterflies sway around, creating an amusing scene.

The artist depicts a moment of joy and amusement through clean strokes and brushes, bringing us to the unruffled and peaceful time. She puts her thoughts on society back to her works. Although the pandemic is yet to pass and we’re unable to travel around the world, we can still reflect on ourselves and put our worries behind us. Look around us and experience the presence. We might be mired for now, but our mind is free as a butterfly.
