This is a small book about oil painting, just over 300 pages, but it incorporates the author's deep thoughts. The author, with an overwhelming emotion, recorded in words the bright stars that crossed the night sky and created this masterpiece ---- "Voices on Canvas". If the masters are speaking with their brushes, the author is the best interpreter of words. Mr. Nie is not only transmitting the voice on the canvas, but also his own thoughts on life.
