A place in Bad Saulgau

At this time, it's so colourful in Bad Saulgau , yellow, orange, red, brown... and the last green, falling slowly down onto the ground. There are animals dancing or running in the sky. All of us are waiting for the new pure, cold winter... and there is an old grandpa coming from the sky with a lot of presents:)
Do you know where it is?

幻飞

蜡光交织，引蛾自灭；
思絮如沙，随风幻飞；
无酒自醉，灵魂不对；
进退何能，薄力求神；
五彩缤纷，苦求明灯；
长梯云痕，伤神心疼；
吾知也吾，何时起舞？

Candles flashing, insects killing;
Thought like sand, wind blows me again and again;
Drunken without wine, soul is what kind?

Free Calligraphy lessons

I plan to give free calligraphy lessons for beginners. If you are interested in calligraphy and Qigong, you can send me an E-mail (tonyline007@hotmail.com) about your situation and tell me why you want to learn it.
Because it is for free, and there's only me teaching calligraphy, meanwhile I would like to read and answer questions. So, when there are too many people, some people maybe have to wait until the next time.
When there are enough people, then we can decide a time to begin the lessons. I will give the lessons in English by E-mail. When you send the E-mail, please write down "Learning calligraphy" in the "Betreff". It is better to write in English or Chinese, when you write in German, please don't write too complicated : )

Wind dances with me

You push your power into our world
Every time, when you are dancing

Maybe, you are the king of the universe
No, you are not the king, a king can not be as strong as you
But I am sure you are something

Wind, please take me with your journey
I want to dance with you!

Greeting to the old lady

Today in the afternoon, We went outside to have a walk. It is a littble bit foggy. We walked along the little path infront of the hospital. There are many ducks in the small lake, so we spent a long time sitting there looking at the ducks and taking photos. The way how the duck TALK is very funny:) I could not help laughing every time when I heard them.
Later we left the small lake, just when we walked into the small path again, we saw an old lady sitting on the long wood chair. She saw my camera, so she asked me whether I want to take a photo from her. Sure, I was very happy. I took some pictures from her, and we talked a lot. She liked to share her story to us, I really forgot she was just a stranger. She looks between 75 to 80 years old, but a very friendly and healthy woman, and she is very sunny with a warm heart. Really, I don't know why, but I would like to communicate more with the old people, especially now I am far away from my parents. At the end, I asked her if it's possible I paint her, she agreed at once, and also asked me to write down it is a 92 year old lady in my painting.
Greetings to this old lady, I am sure will paint you. I have found the beautiful rhythm from you.

What is the basic of art

What is art? The traditional meaning of art is a kind of elegant technique.
What Is art? For the normal art, we define it in terms of the good, truth, and especially beauty.
Writing and painting, they have a lot in common; Painting and singing, they have a lot in common too. So, what do they have in common? Beauty, this is the answer.
You know, noise is not music, at least it can not be art. So, if the painting only has noise to our eyes, it is also not art, even though it may be very meaningful.
Some people think, when there are many brush traces, then it is a good painting, because ' it is complicate ' As a good painter, he always try to find elegant way to paint the complicated things, the fact is that, it will be more work, but at the end, when the painting is ready, it will be much more better, at least it will be not so complicate (difficult) for people to see.
Can you feel the people who can write very well, or can you feel people who can dance very well? What is inside them? It is the beautiful rhythm. So, it is the same in a painting, a good painter is always trying to use the best beautiful rhythm to outline the shape, to paint everything, ... unless he wants to paint the shit. But if the painter can not recognize whether he is painting the shit or the beautiful rhythm, then it will be very terrible.
Once one of my students asked me to teach him painting, but his writing is really very terrible, so I told him: "First, you can try to write A, B, C, D...as well as you can, when you can control your writing, then we can talk about drawing and painting." was not so amused to hear that:" But, many painters they can not write very well, also they painted very rough, you see, some they only fulled the canvas with red colour, then they can sell them with a lots money. I think art is not only to paint real or elegant or meaningful. Otherwise, I think it does not mean that I can not paint what I want, then I can not be a painter...Ah, and you see, many expensive paintings they look very terrible and ugly, and even you don't know what are inside them" ... ...I answered:" In this case, you are already a painter now, you don't have to learn any more"
A good painting has the beautiful rhythm, a good painting can tell a story by itself. Sure, there is another kind of ' good painting', the painter painted the shit, but he made a good story to tell people how meaningful it is...
Here, please don't misunderstand, it does not mean that we can not change the shapes of the objects in our paintings, but try to make it in an elegant way. Creativities is very important, but first try to control your hands to paint what you want in an elegant way.
Painters, please work hard, we should not lie to the people. If you can not paint it well, if you can not paint it elegant, then do more practice, but don't try to laugh and stop the others. Remember, are you going to make the painting for your story, or are you only going to make a story for your painting?

To have some green

I have just finished this small oil painting a little moment ago, can not wait taking a photo of it to save in the computer : )
Just painted to cheer myself and say to myself: ' Have a nice day, my dear painter.'

With this painting, I just want that, she, and even I and every one just take care of our bodies, please don't let the beauty disapear so quick. Try to love the nature more, and the nature will love you...
