Gratitude Journal 11/25/17


"I think confrontation is healthy because it clears the air very quickly." -- Bill Parcells

For a long time, I am not comfortable with confrontation.  However, I remember reading about carefrontation from Iyanla Vanzant.  It changes my perspective of confrontation.  You care enough to confront the other person so that the other party has a chance to improve himself/herself.  If you talk to the person from a place of integrity and compassion, the person's reactions tells you a lot what kind of person they really are.  You then can decide where this relationship is heading to.

Happy Wednesday!

Chinese Seal Script

"Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also pure and inner melody." -- Wassily Kandinsky Since my chinese brush painting teacher encouraged to practice more of my calligraphy, I took the initiative to practice chinese calligraphy.  For all the forms of chinese calligraphy, I love seal scripts the most.  These are ancient characters!  For me, it is half-word and half-drawing!  It has a unique beauty that I am really drawn to. The following is my calligraphy.  My teacher suggested me to practice every word twice.     The following is my teacher's beautiful calligraphy.  One can definitely tell the different between the work from a master and a student. #mtangdesigns # 篆書 # 中国书法

Finding inspirations in everyday life - Tire Rims

Image
I dropped off my car at the mechanic for oil change this morning.  While I was waiting for my car, I noticed some cars have really cool tires.  Since I was tired of flipping through the magazines, I started sketching the tire rims. I drew the tire rim using a HB pencil. I shaded in the dark area. I drew the tire rim for my car. In addition to the tire rim, I drew the tire and the tracking marking. I worked on the shading of the last tire.

Cinnamon Meilleure WIP

"It's important to remember that we all have magic inside us." -- J.K. Rowling I absolute love the vibrant blue color of the coat.  I used Noodler's ink which is a fountain pen ink.  I am challenging myself to use different media to create my artwork.  Sometimes, the result might not come out the way I expected.  Sometimes, the result comes out great!  I am not done with this yet.  Hopefully, it will come out great at the end! #mtangdesigns #noodlersink #sugarsugarrune
