慈母 (Loving mother)

新竹縣北埔鄉南埔村是傳統的客家聚落，處處稻香四溢。居住在三合院的阿婆陳林四妹，個性內向樸實、勤儉持家，是客家女性的好典範，在靦腆的笑容中，流露出母親滿滿的慈愛！此張作品榮獲2014年法國世界水彩大賽金牌獎。

This artwork won the Golden Medal of the World Watercolour Competition of France.

勤樸的雙手 (Diligent Hands)

寒冬的清晨，當我們都還熟睡在溫暖的被窩裡，父親早已下田工作了。雖然每天早出晚歸，卻依然有做不完的農事。他常會驕傲地說：「長滿厚繭的雙手真好，不怕痛也不怕冷！」一雙溫暖厚實的大手，承載著父親對家人滿滿的愛。
On one morning in the chilling winter, the father had already gone to the field and work, while we were sleeping soundly in the warm blanket. Even though he gets up early and comes home late with never-ending farm work, he always says in pride, “How nice I have a pair of hands full of callouses, so I am not afraid of hurt nor cold!” What is held in the big pair of warm, solid hands is the utmost love from a father to his family.

噶瑪蘭阿嬤 (Kavalan Grandmother)

花蓮豐濱的新社部落位臨太平洋，三分之一人口都是噶瑪蘭族，族人就地取材，將香蕉樹幹的纖維抽絲，絲線一條條接起來編織成生活用品。「新社香蕉絲工坊」的85歲工藝師伊拜，正專注地將纖細的香蕉絲打結，牢固地接成一條長線。

農民的雙手 (Farmer_s Hands)

午飯後，阿伯享受了短暫的歇息時刻，發發呆、想想家人、想想下午的工作...。阿伯為了家人，天天揮汗如雨，粗重的農事，讓雙手早已結繭、龜裂、變形，但他依然堅韌樂觀、努力耕耘！台灣農民們對土地的憨厚深情...令人崇敬！
An old man is enjoying a brief moment of rest after lunch, idling, missing family, and thinking about the jobs in the afternoon… The old man sweats and toils every single day for his family. The hands are full of callouses, fractured and deformed. Yet, he stays strong and positive, working hard in the farm! Such honest passion toward the land from the farmers in Taiwan… Admirable!
