卢东所绘荷塘，意境深邃，色彩绚烂深厚，意象丰富而又浑然一体，宏阔与精微兼备，既有淋漓尽致的泼彩，也有勾画谨严的工笔刻画，万象皆有，生生不息，让人顿生荷塘大而世界小的慨叹。卢东阅尽荷塘之灵性，所以多心性情感，都能自如地融会于一方池塘，荷塘四时之序，万千气象，也境界全出。

荷，在中国是一种极富文化意味的植物，古人以为荷有君子之质，尤其是在士子眼中，荷之质也清，荷之品亦高，灼灼然得天地之灵，皎皎然若君子之质。张潮在《幽梦影》里说：“凡花色之娇媚者多不甚香，瓣之千居者多不结实。甚矣，全才之难了。兼之者，其惟莲乎。”荷的形象已近乎完美了。古人写荷，多抽象其品格，逸笔草草，达清逸出尘之境，会意而已，而卢东则将其从文人的清供推向了深邃的自然，荷塘斑斓静穆的生态被强调、放大。

卢东写荷，其长在于造境，他以新的表现手法强化氛围，表现了荷塘万千缤纷、神秘宁静的气象，形成了具有独体审美价值的艺术品格。卢东的荷塘已经形成了面貌非常独体的个人图式，他有着完美的笔墨、色彩表现体系。色彩与构成显然受到油画的滋养，荷的线条与鸟的造型还能看到传统工笔绘画的痕迹。画面的整体氛围充满东方情调，他的绘画已经与传统的工笔意境有了很大的距离，以丰富的表现技巧创造了一种深沉、斑斓、浑厚，同时又不乏灵性的荷塘新境。艺术的探索与革新多来自艺术家表达的需要，卢东的艺术革新也来自于对现实荷塘的观察与感悟，是对一种心灵感受的捕捉与追寻，因此，他的表达体系是开放的、从于心的，也因此有着不断发展的基础。

卢东的绘画意趣是偏于沉郁的，他表达的多是一种秋日之思，虽然偶尔也有温润的情怀闪现其中，但总体的基调是绚烂至极之后的凄清，是黄昏斑斓中暮光的微茫惨澹。这种秋日之思事实上是一种对生命的思考，是对生命终极意义的意象化追问，在这样的追问中，画家的精神气质得到了淋漓尽致的呈现。虽然艺术面貌上与古人的清逸之致不同，但在审美追求上，卢东与传统的中国文人有相近之处，中国传统文人的审美倾向总体偏于简淡、萧散、淡泊，也是一种暮秋之美，卢东的秋日之思则表现得更富有激情，面对暮秋，他没有走向空、无，而是走向了一种复杂的“有”。这种绚烂之中的凄清更能触动当代人的心弦。

中国花鸟画在当代已经呈现出了明显的多元化趋向，卢东的思考与创作也是这一趋势的结果，画家或者在观念上革新，或者在技法上创造，或者回归传统，都体现了中国画多元共生的状态。在多元的艺术追求中，画家的情感、思想积淀始终应该是创新的基础，艺术的时代价值正取决于此。卢东创造的画境开阔绚烂，个性独具，无疑为中国花鸟画的当代探索做出了贡献。

卢东多年居泰岱之下，得泰山灵性之蒙养，其性情也近泰山，大气浑厚，往往与淳厚中见灵秀之气。荷塘本为自在天然之物，而一旦与人的灵性相遇，就会焕发出生命的神采。卢东写荷，以情寄物，物象亦传其心，给人以静悄悄的审美震撼，令人读之心而忘怀，寻味不已.

The lotus pond painted by Ludong has profound artistic conception, gorgeous and profound colors, rich and integrated images, both broad and subtle. There are not only incisive splashing colors, but also meticulous depiction of the painting. There are all kinds of things, and it is endless. People suddenly sigh that the lotus pond is big and the world is small. Ludong read the spirit of the lotus pond, so the multi-minded emotions can be easily integrated into one side of the pond. The order of the four seasons of the lotus pond, thousands of weather, and the whole realm.

The lotus is a very cultural plant in China. The ancients thought that the lotus has the quality of a gentleman. Especially in the eyes of scholars, the quality of the lotus is also clear, and the quality of the lotus is also high. It can burn the spirit of heaven and earth, and bring the lotus as the quality of a gentleman. In the shadow of a dream, Zhang Chao said: "most of the charming flowers and colors are not very fragrant, and most of the thousands of petals are not solid. What's more, it's hard for all talents. If it's both, it's only lotus. " The image of the lotus is almost perfect. In writing lotus, the ancients mostly abstracted their character, wrote and wrote freely, reached a pure and free place, and understood it, while Ludong pushed it from the scholars' pure offering to the deep nature, and the beautiful and quiet ecology of lotus pond was emphasized and magnified.

Lu Dong's writing of lotus is good at creating environment. He strengthened the atmosphere with new expression techniques, displayed the colorful, mysterious and peaceful atmosphere of lotus pond, and formed an artistic character with unique aesthetic value. Ludong's lotus pond has formed a very unique personal schema, which has a perfect system of ink and color expression. The color and composition are obviously nourished by oil painting. The lines of lotus and the modeling of birds can also see the traces of traditional meticulous painting. The overall atmosphere of the picture is full of Oriental sentiment. His painting has a great distance from the traditional fine brushwork mood. With rich performance skills, he has created a deep, colorful, thick and spiritual lotus pond new environment. The exploration and innovation of art mostly come from the needs of artists' expression, and Ludong's artistic innovation also comes from the observation and perception of the real lotus pond, which is the capture and pursuit of a kind of spiritual feeling. Therefore, his expression system is open, from the heart, and therefore has the basis of continuous development.

Lu Dong's painting interest is more gloomy. What he expresses is a kind of thinking in autumn. Although he occasionally has warm feelings, the overall tone is the bleakness after the gorgeous, the bleakness in the dusk. In fact, this kind of thinking in autumn is a kind of thinking about life, and it is an image inquiry about the ultimate meaning of life. In such inquiry, the painter's spirit and temperament are presented incisively and vividly. Although the artistic appearance is different from that of the ancients, in terms of aesthetic pursuit, Ludong is similar to the traditional Chinese literati. The aesthetic tendency of the traditional Chinese literati generally tends to be simple, desolate and indifferent, which is also a kind of beauty of late autumn. Ludong's thinking of autumn is more passionate. Facing the late autumn, he does not go to emptiness and nothingness, but to a kind of complex "Yes". The desolation in the splendor can touch the heartstrings of the contemporary people.

Chinese flower and bird painting has shown an obvious trend of diversification in contemporary times. Lu Dong's thinking and creation are also the result of this trend. Painters either innovate in concept, or create in technique, or return to tradition, all reflect the state of multiple symbiosis of Chinese painting. In the diversified pursuit of art, the painter's emotional and ideological accumulation should always be the basis of innovation, and the era value of art is determined by this. Ludong's paintings are broad and gorgeous with unique personality, which undoubtedly contributes to the contemporary exploration of Chinese flower and bird paintings.

Ludong lived under taidai for many years, and was raised by the spirit of Mount Tai. His temperament was close to Mount Tai, and his atmosphere was thick, and he often saw the spirit of smart and beautiful in the thick. The lotus pond is a natural thing in itself. Once it meets the spirit of human beings, it will radiate the spirit of life. Lu Dong wrote lotus, sent things with emotion, and the images also passed on his heart, which gave people a quiet aesthetic shock and made people forget and ponder
