Dad's Calligraphy

Earlier last month, my dad had an accident while playing tennis. His left wedding ring finger was snapped backwards and some tendon of the finger was also snapped.  Very awful.  There's a Chinese saying: "pain in the fingers go directly to the heart (十指痛歸心），　I have never saw my dad whine about pain in such a manner.

Anyways, before this accident, my dad was not too concentrated into his calligraphy practice. :D  But now he's forced to practice a calmer hobby, so he went back to his Chinese writings. :D

Here is his latest works.

個＂秋＂字係咪有Ｄ問題呢?!

Dad's Painting II

In response to Old Lee's requests about leaves on bamboo, here's my dad's presentation. :D

This is my dad's bamboo leaves. I think it's more Willow than Bamboo. :D He still needs a lot of practice to be as good as his master, but he's getting there. :D

This is my dad's teacher's work. This, I call bamboo. :D The teacher has been painting his drawings on a scroll for each student to take home to practice. This is practically my dad's art learning book.

Dad's Painting

My dad has been practicing calligraphy for a while now and he's been really into it. :D My mom and I support him 110%! :D

Lately, he has been taking this other class, which is a Chinese water painting class. (水墨晝)

He has so many tools nowadays. :P

The first thing he learned was how to draw bamboos :D

 

I think he didn't do too bad as a novice.  These bamboo looks like it's swaying with the wind. :) 

佛在心中 / 食在肚中

While my dad was practicing "佛在心中" (Buddha is in the heart), i figured I'd show off my calligraphy skill too. :D  So I wrote, "食在肚中”　(food in the tummy) :D  Very appropriate. :D

家嚴的書法

昨天, 我的好友'老劉' 上了我家坐, 她曾說很喜歡我爸爸的書法, 但很可惜自從上次寫完了個 '靜' & '忍' 字給我的boss 之後, 他便收山了.

不過, 由於 '老老何' (我係老何, 咁我老爸自然係double老) 視 '老劉' 係世 姪女咁, 佢又出山咧!!

由於'老劉' 係信佛嘅, '老老何' 今次除了寫個'靜'字, 仲寫咗個 '佛' 字添!

 

 

多謝欣賞! :)

LaBean Sr.'s Calligraphy

My dad has been practicing Chinese Calligraphy. It's a good thing coz it really calm him down a lot. Before he took the Calligraphy class, he was ultra grumpy being retired. :D He doesn't seem to enjoy his retirement much. I guess it's quite boring to be retired. :D

The other day I asked him to write me the Chinese Character 忍, so i can stick it on my cubicle at work to remind myself. :D He also wrote me the above word, which means Quietness. :D

I gave the "quietness" to my boss, wishing the hotline will be less busy. :D

I think it made my dad very proud that his daughter appreciates his hobby. :D
