占山其人
来源:画友投稿整理
占山从不忌讳他是在老家白洋淀长大的孩子,他是跟着奶奶长大的,他是跟农村孩子一块玩大的。至今他提起儿时的故事,言谈话语中流露出的真挚的情谊,仍深深地打动着我,他不是一个忘本的人。他的创作以农村为题材,在画中可见到家乡的一草一木,可见到奶奶的影子,见到儿时的玩伴。占山的作品色彩浓烈,阳光十足,视野开阔,正如他的为人豪爽、真诚、宽容,天生具有领导才能。这不是人人都能做到的,眼中不揉沙子的人不行,因为水至清则无鱼;自以为是的人更不行,那属于井底之蛙,属于没有自知之明。一群搞写实绘画的朋友十数年风雨无阻,周周踢足球,不只为健身,更为了朋友们有个交流的机会。这个机会因为占山地坚持而延续至今,此言并不夸张。因此,“一路同行”(后因此名被抢注而改为“同路而行”)一组成,占山便毫无异议地被推选为社长。占山并不因此而自以为是,前日游山,对一山上流水是泉水还是雨水与我等争执,小儿李溪用“毛细”原理告之,并举例说明,占山顿时心服口服。“知耻近乎勇”,有些人遇到此类事会碍于面子死不认账,更何况李溪乃一黄口小儿。足见其心地坦荡,心怀宽阔,真乃伟丈夫也。
