Share the Beatiful-- Shirley's US Travel Diary -044 & 204th Friendly Greeting --Mon, July 13, 2009

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you? Is everything good with you? I do hope that you are doing well and enjoying your new week.

Today is the 285th day that I have been in the US.

Maybe you are surprised why Shirley sends me an email on Monday instead of on the weekend as usual.

This noon, when I came back from the university, the flowers by the road brought me so much inspiration and a strong creating desire.

So, as soon as I reached home, I took out of my brushes, paper and colors, to create a picture with many flowers that were in my imagination.

This is the first time I created so many peonies on one piece of paper within 2 hours, there are still many another flowers with another colors and features in my mind now. I would really like to create them out as soon as possible...

The good thing is that whole of the creating process has really brought me a so good emotion and a so peaceful heart. It just like some especial medicine makes me in happiness once more.

Even though I have found many problems in the picture. I feel very good and when I look at these flowers in my new picture on the wall, I would really like you to share the beautiful and to bring you a big smile... :-)

Maybe you are smiling for Shirley¡¯s emotional and childlike? :-) Right?

Take care and thanks, have a good new week.

Shirley Created Art - Chinese Xieyi -0222:Flowers of the Spring- My 24rd Painting in the US
My original thought was to re-create the picture that I created yesterday ? the Happy (Noise ) Fall. The flowers by the road between the university and my home had given me so much inspiration, so that I created this one with many flowers in my mind. The create process and the freedom and the comfortable feeling of the Chinese Xieyi Painting was just like some especial medicine, brought me many smiles, a peaceful heart and a good emotion indeed. Instead of waiting until Sunday, I put it on the web site right now. Hope you like it.


I am just a learner on art of painting, music, English and Chinese language, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a few things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be an Electronic Bridge of Culture Exchange, Chinese Language Learning & Friendship making. To help the others while to improve myself.

I would like to appreciate your understanding, directions, supports and hope to get your friendly direction and help.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you are welcome to write to shirley@ebridge.cn or Yiping007@MissouriState.edu, or to publish your opinions in the forum.
