Flowers time

I've been finding myself back whithin drawing ,
and a François Cheng's book which it's called
Cinq méditations sur la beauté
(5 meditations about beauty, will beauty save the world ?).

My lilly are huge this year,
i wonder how big they will end in a few years !

Here are my old friends the bumble bees
and a new one hairy bee comes to collect pollen on my balcony
i'm so happy !


This is the last picture from my real big irl painting,
i'ts almost finished now, i need to create the frame,
and all will be done:

i will then start a big real dragon painting.

Working hard !

I'm still in the need to draw, Encircled by boxes for the coming move in the new flat . Hopefully i've got still my computer until we really move in july. I did get my first kung fu graduation but it was not that important to me, i was not even ready for it. I'm suspecting they offer this first graduation to encourage people to keep on learning ...

I've learned a lot wit these martial arts and it is helpfull with my drawings ^^

I'm really busy for a long time so i hope you are doing well ^^

Meeting the Master of the school

Last saturday and sunday i've been to a training course made by the founder of our Kung fu , Tai chi chuan and Yi Chuan School. It was the 30th anniversary of the creation of the french school.
It was very rich of experiences. We met schools from th Whole france (in fact we all are located in South : Pau, Tarbes, Anger, Toulouse).

I've learned a lot, and it was all of a sudden as if i did found my tribe, or my heart country : the one of knowledge, sharing and exchanging happiness. We've done a lot of tai chi chuan, and the Master Tran thahn has explained to us many things. It was a huge event for all of us, and even more for the kung fu lads red belt trying to get their black belt of the school, which is a lot more difficult than the federal belt to get. It was so cool to see the high levels meeting and setting their exams with the whole french school as spectators. One of the school performed a lion dance (a dragon running after a lion), and the most graduated lads have done the second Tao altogether for the master. Its was simple, and it was to show we could all do something together, thanks to him. The school would like to be recognised now, and to let the shadows behind in the past.

There is 2 legends about our master Tran Thanh :

- at the begining the master was really fighting with the first 'pupils', and beat them up if it was not propely learned. He has stopped it more than 20 years ago as it was not helpfull.
- the master has some kind of rose flower smells , not a perfume one smell, something from his body, or even his breath: that is definitively a true legend too : i did smell it ! it smells like rose but it's even more delicate, astonning !!

I knew some people might smell the apple when they have diabetic problems, but never heard about rose-like smells for a man, which does turn as a male rose smelly thing !

Here comes the month were i might try to get my first level in Kung fu. We'll try to film ourselves with a few friends while traing, so we might see how to be better,
i'll see if i can get some pictures in here at this time (shaking knees ^^)

And also, at last the bank office said yes for the money : here we go, we shall get the keys on the 29th june Yahoo !

I've been delighted to meet a Jay yesterday since i didn't for such a long time ! no Pictures, i didn't took my camera ^^
