Me renforcer et ne pas me reposer

Happy New Year to all.
The year 2022 was a year of lots of painting.
That’s partly because I had a lot of free time at work, but wow, it’s a new year, so smile.
For this New Year’s painting, I drew the Eiffel Tower.

A contemporary Chinese painter I admire is Fang Zhaoling.
She draws beautiful picture-book-like paintings in the style of ink painting.
Her majestic brushstrokes and vivacity are breathtaking.

She passed away, so we can’t see much of her work, but you can see some on Pinterest.

Born in 1914, she had a very difficult time since birth, with wars, wars, and her father being murdered before her eyes.
She fled the battlefields of England, Hong Kong and China, but there was never a time when she didn’t pick up a paintbrush.
Her motto was “Self-reinforcing and incessant” (strengthen myself and never rest).

Her motto is “If your heart is right, your brush is right” (Tang Shu), a phrase that matches her lifestyle.

In 2023, I want to continue to “strengthen myself and not rest” so that I can paint pictures that reflect me!
