They associate their subjective feelings with objective environments, expressing their own images through suitable forms and techniques. In terms of the form, the researcher chooses oil painting and various acrylic paste as media for creating her work in an oriental style of xieyi, which emphasizes a few, rapid rhythmic strokes rather than careful delineation. She employs Western idiom of color and Chinese idiom of lines of calligraphy and ink & color painting, building an oriental realm of aesthetics. In selection of the content, the researcher expresses her true feelings by various topics, including life images of flowers, and nature. The thesis is structured in six chapters： Chapter One： Describes the purpose, methodology, the scope and the limitation of the study. Chapter Two： Reviews the development and the features of Chinese xieyi painting, and the tension of Western expressionism. The researcher discusses the spirit of “simplification” and “zen” in the realm of aesthetic beauty. Chapter Three：The researcher indicates his creation idea, discusses his subjective use of space, line expression and addresses his thought on art. Chapter Four： Illustrates the forms, contents, techniques, and media in the process of her creation.
