一位女士用她的生日禮物——高壓清洗機(jī)來(lái)釋放她的創(chuàng)作潛力

They say that a good present is a practical one. So when Dianna’s birthday came along, her husband knew exactly what to get her. A pressure washer. Dianna had been thinking about it ever since the very first time she used one to help a girlfriend get her mom’s house ready to sell.

他們說(shuō)好的禮物是實(shí)用的。所以當(dāng)黛安娜的生日來(lái)臨的時(shí)候，她的丈夫知道該送她什么。高壓清洗機(jī)。自從黛安娜第一次用它幫她的女朋友把她媽媽的房子準(zhǔn)備好出售的時(shí)候，她就一直在考慮這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

For over a month, she had power washed everything she could, including the patio, the fence, the siding on the shop, several dirty shutters, and even the garbage cans. When it was time to tackle the biggest challenge, the driveway, she realized how long it would take and decided to go even further, turning it into an art project.

在一個(gè)多月的時(shí)間里，她讓電力公司把她能洗的所有東西都洗了，包括院子、柵欄、商店的壁板、幾個(gè)臟百葉窗，甚至是垃圾桶。當(dāng)需要解決最大的挑戰(zhàn)——車(chē)道的時(shí)候，她意識(shí)到這需要多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，于是決定更進(jìn)一步，把它變成一個(gè)藝術(shù)項(xiàng)目。

Dianna was born and raised in Northern California and after retiring from over 36 years of working in an office moved to Burlington, North Carolina a little over two years ago. “I have done crazy art things since I was probably 5 years old,” she told Bored Panda. “No professional art training, though.”

黛安娜在北加州出生和長(zhǎng)大，在一個(gè)辦公室工作了超過(guò)36年后退休，兩年前，她搬到北卡羅萊納州伯靈頓。她在接受Bored Panda網(wǎng)站采訪時(shí)表示:“我可能從5歲起就開(kāi)始做一些瘋狂的藝術(shù)作品。”“但沒(méi)有接受過(guò)專業(yè)的藝術(shù)培訓(xùn)。”

At first, Dianna pressure washed some encouraging words like “love” onto the concrete. However, that wasn’t enough for her. She then wanted to create something more intricate and began covering the path with motifs from the natural world.

一開(kāi)始，黛安娜用高壓清洗機(jī)把一些鼓勵(lì)的話，比如“愛(ài)”，沖刷到了混凝土上。然而，這對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)還不夠。然后，她想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造一些更復(fù)雜的東西，并開(kāi)始用來(lái)自自然界的圖案覆蓋這條道路。

“As pleased as I was with the upper driveway ‘word art’, I was inspired to see what else I could do with this wonderful new toy,” Dianna wrote. “Although I am still learning techniques and am not completely satisfied with the results, I guess one could say, ‘This is just what might happen when a husband gets an artist a power washer for her birthday!'”

黛安娜寫(xiě)道:“雖然我對(duì)上車(chē)道的‘文字藝術(shù)’很滿意，但我還是受到了啟發(fā)，想看看這個(gè)奇妙的新玩具還能做些什么。”“雖然我還在學(xué)習(xí)技術(shù)，對(duì)結(jié)果不是很滿意，但我想有人會(huì)說(shuō)，‘這就是當(dāng)一個(gè)丈夫給一個(gè)藝術(shù)家買(mǎi)了一臺(tái)高壓清洗機(jī)作為生日禮物時(shí)可能會(huì)發(fā)生的事情!’”
