Valentine's Day, all you need is Love

Paint a portrait

Imagine what your lover likes and paint a portrait. Great artists are usually great lovers, too. If you are not good with a brush, how about a pencil If none of these talents are your strength, simply paint a flower for your love and say that he or she is the flower in your heart.

Love notes scrapbook

Take all the love notes you’ve written and either put them in a scrapbook or hole punch them and bind them with. If you have not written any love notes, write one every day up until Valentine’s Day or the day before and present them as your personal love notebook. He will love reading how you
worship him, and it is a keepsake he can read whenever he wants. If you not have a soft touch for writing, compile some poetry that reminds you of them or song lyrics that are reminders of the times you have shared with your sweetheart.

Mixed CD

Find some love songs which you and your lover both enjoy. Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” is totally out. Try some Daniel Powter or Club 8. If these are not your cup of tea, find some songs which remind your love of you, or you even record some of your lover’s voice clips! Burn them
onto a CD for him or her. Simple and sweet

Wu Daozi

Sage inChinese Painting

By Wu Daozi

In Chinese history, three people are adored as sages. They are thecalligraphysage Wang Xizhi of the West Jin Dynasty (265-316), the poem sageDu Fuof theTang Dynastyand the painting sage Wu Daozi, also of the Tang Dynasty.

Born in Yangzhai (present-day Yu County inHenan Province), Wu lost both his parents when he was young and lived a hard life in his early years. He learned from folk artists and sculptors how to make a living. Because he studied hard and was talented in art, he earned himself a good reputation as a
painter by the time he was 20 years old. Emperor Xuanzong invited him to become an imperial painter in court and changed his name to Daoxuan. As an imperial painter, he was not allowed to paint except on the emperor's orders. It was a big restriction for a civilian painter, but on the other hand,
life in court provided the best conditions for living and artistic creativity.
