〈新加坡秋齋藏畫〉卷九（新加坡，新華美術中心，二○一九年），頁213-214
註：「春水微綠，遠山偏青，濕潤的堤岸帶生褐色，彼此間的色彩融洽和諧，都很謙虛，誰也不欺壓誰。白牆黑瓦的江南人家就散落在這寧靜和諧的水鄉裏，顯得分外醒目。」
—吳冠中
一九八○年春，畫家帶領中央工藝美院學生到蘇州寫生，描繪獅子林、留園、拙政園、甪直等景，得稿甚豐，本幅即按此行所得〈水上人家〉速寫演變而成。畫中河岸柳樹成團，枝幹以濃墨寫出，或左右穿插，或弧型斜生，交纏蜿蜒之姿呈現柳枝獨有的韌性，構圖與畫面比例皆步武稿本，惟本幅中枝梢初冒新芽，紅、綠彩點鑲嵌其中，呈現「春風又綠江南岸」之景，毋怪鴨子忙不迭戲水報春！枝葉掩映間，房舍高低錯落，淨牆被屋簷及窗欞的黑塊面包圍，非居要位，仍巧妙地以純白之色反襯春柳之綠，畫面緊湊而層次自生，雖非名園傑構，亦足証畫家搜稿之慧眼矣！
