这是我为 Krita 4.0 至 4.1 版绘制的一张启动图。这张启动图绘制的时候，Krita 正处于项目创建以来最艰难的一年，一再遭遇诸如荷兰财务审计新法带来的巨额补税、首席程序员的健康危机等多重考验。这张图包含着梅花在寒冬中依然绽放的寓意，寄托了对 Krita 克服困境重新出发的祝愿。

This is the splash art I created for Krita 4.0, it was used up to version 4.1. At the time, the Krita project was facing a very difficult time — Netherlands’ tax law problem, the maintainer’s health issue, etc.

In Chinese culture, wintersweet trees are associated with unyielding spirit in adverse situations because they blossom during the coldest of winter. This splash carried the wish of Krita overcoming its difficulties.
