Good Responses from My Friends and Readers -- Jan 01 - 29, 2013
I am lucky enough that I have gotten many responded from my friends and readers. There are more than 4000 letters that I have read, but there is no time enough to order them yet.

Therefore, I just would like to respond these letters in my winter vacation and choose some of the to share with you there.

Below are some of respondings in one of my inbox, and I would like to share with you.

I really hope that my little web site will become a little bridge of cross-culture, comprehensive art and friendship by your good help and, directions and support.

Dear Shirley

I will pray for you that your stomach troubles may be relieved and that if you need medical attention that you would receive wise doctors and that they give you good care.

Mr. William G. from USA Jan 15, 2013

Dear Shirley,

I agree that stress and eating can cause stomach issues. So take whatever action is needed to reduce the stresses ( many are self-induced due to self-expectations!) and be sure to eat well with proper rest. medicines and surgeries can only do limited things to our bodies. It is up to US, on a DAILY BASIS, to heal ourselves!

Best wishes for 2013!!!

William


Dr. Stevan   O. K from USA Jan 14, 2013


Dear Shirley,

Good to hear from you.   That is great that you learned that your retirement will be with more funds.   I think your attached art is beautiful.   Keep up the excellent work, but you really need to relax more and not place so much pressure on yourself.   Protect your health.   I think you should have your stomach problem check out with a doctor immediately.

Our winter break is now over.   Classes start today.   I have much to do to get ready for my classes that start tomorrow.

Have a blessed day!!

Dr. J. Darragh M.   Elliott from Canada Jan 7, 2013 ( extract)

Hi Shirley:

It looks like I will be going to New York next week. I have received a commission to appraise a painting by the Spanish artist, Francisco Goya.

Goya is considered as being the last of the Old Master painters and the first of the moderns.

As you know, we have just come through our Christmas season, and I ended up singing in 3 Cantatas and giving 4 concerts, plus the usual church services. So, I am tired of singing.

Winter is here in all its splendour, and we have lots of snow. Ugh, all the more to plow.

All my best,

Darragh

Hi, Shirley,

Happy New Year.

Take care,

Mr. Frederick R. from USA   Jan 1, 2013

Hello, Dear Shirley,

First, A very Happy   and Blessed New Year to you and yours. I seems by your email that you   have had a very busy schedule? For me, I have done nothing much except to have my 80th Birthday to come and go with the Good Lord being by my side and keeping me in good health. At time, a little loneliness creeps into my mind and i have to fight it off. Mostly alone but not ever really lonely. I feel that loneliness is only a state of mind. I do know that being alone brings on peace and quiet. Every since my time at war, I have found that being alone helps to place one's mind at peace, even with the horrors of war being ever-present.

I do hope that you enjoyed a very pleasant and prosperous Christmas period? Here again, I do not have an interest in Christmas due to the commercialization of the Blessed Day. Stay healthy and continued success in all your endeavours..

A friend,

Fred


Dr. B. Booth fom USA Jan 1, 2013

Dear Shirley:

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013.   

I am very impressed that your copy of Fan Kuan’s scroll painting “Traveler’s in the High Mountains and Streams”was done to the exact size of the original. I would have loved to see it close up and compare it to the one I have that is a huge scroll from the National Palace Museum in Taipei it was photographed in Tokyo and printed on Silk so every dot on the original is on the copy.    Since the original is in very fragile condition they only show it alongside the copy one week each year and then return it to the vault.

I hope your visit back home will provide the atmosphere and climate to make you more confortable and help you restore your health.   Being in a familiar place is good for the spirit and the mind.   I wish you the greatest joy, happiness, good health and good fortune for the coming year and that your work will gain in strength due to your passion for what you are doing.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Bill R. Booth

Thanks much for the greeting you sent me and my family; its a beautiful music and your subjects of your paintings are just beautiful! You are indeed a talent in yoru field of art work!
