In fact, not only Tangning, many people who like painting, including most painters, have painted self-portraits, and they usually don't just paint one. This is because for painters, especially poor painters, it is best to find the cheapest one.
The model is yourself in the mirror, which is why painters usually look for female models, because male models are enough if they have themselves.
In addition, for painters, the best diary is actually a self-portrait, because oneself is different in different environments and different emotions, and recording with a brush is much simpler and more vivid than using words.
Another point is that the self-portraits that artists can sell are basically high-quality products. After all, no one can make their own painting look ugly and then show it to others.
When he saw the self-portrait Tang Ning took from the hotel that he painted during his trip to China, Hugo was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Tang Ning, you are actually a painter. What a coincidence!"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "I'm not a painter by any means, I just like to draw!"
Hugo looked at the self-portrait carefully, then looked at Tang Ning, frowned and said, "Mr. Tang Ning, this self-portrait of yours is the most special one among all the self-portraits I have ever seen!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Tangning asked curiously.
Hugo thought about it for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know if my description is correct, but it gives me the feeling that this self-portrait you painted is not yourself, but another person!"
Tangning was shocked when she heard what Hugo said, because what he said was right. Even though she had traveled through time for more than ten years, deep down in her heart, Tangning still did not recognize that this skin was hers. In her mind, she had always been herself.
He is still the boy he was before time travel, so when it is reflected in the painting, this sense of separation naturally appears. But why didn’t he find this problem before?
But then I thought about it, why didn’t I draw a portrait of myself before time travel? That’s a real self-portrait!
Thinking of this, Tang Ning suddenly felt a very strong urge to create, but it was obvious that now was not the time, so Tang Ning suppressed it and changed the topic and asked, "It seems that Mr. Hugo, you also know how to paint!"
Hugo smiled and replied: "I am the same as you. I usually like to draw a little, but I am not as good as you!"
Hearing this, Tangning's heart moved and she said, "Mr. Hugo, can I ask for a reward?"
"What's the reward?" Hugo asked casually.
"A painting of yours!" Tangning begged, raising a finger.
Hugo replied without hesitation: "No problem, I will also give you a self-portrait of mine!"
After returning to the hotel, Tangning showed off Hugo's portrait to the two women and said, "What do you think of this painting?"
Bai Min shook his head and said, "I don't know much about Western paintings, so it's hard to comment!"
Heidi also added: "Based on my limited understanding of Western paintings, this painting is very ordinary!"
"Maybe this painting is indeed ordinary, but the person who painted it is extraordinary!"
"Oh? Who painted this painting?" Heidi asked curiously.
Tangning pointed to the painting and replied, "That's the person in this painting. This is a self-portrait!"
"Self-portrait? But I don't know this person either!" Heidi said with a frown.
Tangning took out a copy of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" that she bought on the road and waved it in front of Heidi's eyes. Then Heidi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! Tony, you, are you talking about that?"
This, this painting was painted by Mr. Hugo?"
Tang Ning replied proudly: "Yes, this is Mr. Hugo's self-portrait!" and then recounted today's experience.
"I didn't expect that that poor lady was actually Mr. Hugo's daughter!" Heidi said with emotion.
At this time, Bai Min asked inappropriately: "Um, Tony, can I ask if Mr. Hugo is a very famous writer?"
"It can't be described as very famous. It should be said that it is very famous. I want to think about how to compare it. It is basically equivalent to your Chinese Ji Yun!" Tangning reluctantly found a reference.
"Oh, that's it!" Bai Min suddenly realized.
Heidi on the other side joked: "Tony, why don't you just stay and marry Adele and become Mr. Hugo's son-in-law? What an honor it would be!"
Tangning shook her head repeatedly and said, "Forget it, I still prefer to be with you!" She hugged the two women in her arms.
In fact, Tang Ning was very busy these days. Not only did she have to help Hugo paint, but she also had to take time to meet Scarlett. After this passionate day, Tang Ning frowned and complained to her: "I really didn't expect that you
You and your sister were so cruel that they even killed your brother-in-law!"
Scarlett replied disapprovingly: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we don't kill him, we will be homeless. Is it possible to go to New Orleans to join you?"
Tangning replied without hesitation: "That's absolutely fine. I happen to have a newly built manor there just to marry you!"
Hearing what Tangning said, Scarlett paused, then sighed and said, "Tony, don't say this, otherwise I will regret it even more!"
Then he changed the subject and asked: "By the way, how is Joanna now?"
"It's pretty good. I'm teaching little Mike how to play piano." At this point, Tangning added, "Well, he's my and Caroline's child!"
"I didn't expect you to be so kind to a black slave's child!" Scarlett was a little surprised.
"Even if his mother is a black slave, he is still my child!" Tangning replied in a deep voice.
"You don't want him to inherit your inheritance, do you?" Scarlett joked.
Tangning explained: "Heidi and I have agreed on this. I will leave the Brazilian manor to little Mike!"
"Then if we have a child, what will you leave him?" Scarlett asked again.
Tangning thought for a moment and then replied: "We have to wait until we have children before we consider this. After all, we don't have one yet!"
"If that's the case, then I have to hurry up now, after all, your time in London is too short!" With that, Scarlett took the initiative.
Tangning, while catering, said, "If you think your time in London is short, you can come to New Orleans to find me!"
PS: I recommend a book called "Insurance in Progress" on the reality channel. Based on my previous financial experience at Ping An Life Insurance, the author of this book must be an insider, but obviously he can't write online articles. This can be seen from his
You can tell from the table of contents, but this does not affect the popularization and interest of this book. Friends who are interested in the insurance industry recommend reading it!
