This research put the focus on the representation of the reality. A set of still lives corresponding to this research were accomplished from 2005 to 2009. Through gazing at common objects in daily life carefully and intently, observing the relationships among the shape, color and space, and pouring in the feeling and thoughts, the author’s mental world was connected to the real world by a series of still live art works with oil paints. The author also did a lot of introspection and self-healing during this process and discovered the meaning of existence and life in depth. That is the practice of “looking into the objects microscopically and exploring the mind macroscopically”. In the paper, the author’s dream fulfillment motivation, the adopted framework and processes, as well as the used methodologies including literature study, theory synthesis, quality analysis and experienced practice for this research are first introduced. Then, the transformation of art view of realistic painting and its difference with photography are discussed. After that, how to layout and construct the picture, how to make use of the painting skill to convey the object image and its connotation, and how to apply the essences and the functions of colors to still lives are elaborated. Moreover, the belief of that tradition and modern arts are mutually complementary and both are important to creation of art works is mentioned. In addition, each accomplished art work of this research is illustrated in detail by explaining how to choose the topic, how to construct the layout, how to use colors, and how to manipulate the painting skills to express the internal idea and feeling. As a summary, the author broke the frame of external appearance of realistic painting and successfully conveyed her passion and emotions by instilling her life experience and feminine thoughts into her art works.
