〈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!
