如今要在现代都市里找到一些自然，本真的东西，已经十分困难了。从街边的花草树木，沦为宠物的猫狗鱼鸟到餐桌上的水果菜蔬，全是人工栽培出来的货色，它们象工业产品一样有统一的型号和标准，外表全都完美而漂亮。人们以这种人造美为美，久而久之，逐渐淡忘了天然的，原生态的，不加雕琢的真美。研究美的“美术”同样离真美渐行渐远了，那些矫揉造作，装腔作势，批量生产出来的，表面效果夺人眼球的艺术“精品”迎合了大众的口味，形成主流。因而当我看到秦蔼美的那些出自内心的朴素自然天真的绘画作品，感觉象一个长年生活在城市单调的灰色水泥房子里的人，忽然到了郊外，闻到久违了的泥土和草木的清新气息。我画室窗台上有一个闲置的花盆，有一日忽然在泥土中出现一星绿色，后来慢慢长成一株小草，有飘逸的叶子，挺拔的茎和精致的穗，错落有致，美妙无比。可惜只知道欣赏那人工培养出来的争奇斗妍的各种牡丹或菊花的人们，已经丧失了欣赏一株小草的审美能力，其实小草的审美价值决不在那些名种之下。
　蔼美的这些以心血铸成，仿佛清泉般自然流淌而出的作品，就如同一株亭亭玉立的小草，虽然看起来并不伟大，却有着内在的生命力。Inthecontemporarymoderncity，the natrualandoriginal thingshadbeenverydificulttobefound.Theflowersandtreesalongthestreetwerethecityplanted.Thecats，dogs，fishandbirdswerebredaspetstomeettheowner’sneeds.Thefruitsandvegetablespickedandselectedforpeople’sfoodonthetable.Allthosearecommercialgoodsandartificiallycultivated.Theylikeanyotherindustryproductshaduniformlyapperances，standardsandpatterns.Atsurface，alllooksperfectandpretty.Peopledeemthisman-madebeautyasbeauty.Astimegoesalong，theygraduallyforgotthenatual，originalandunpolishedbeauty.
