The trait of his that never succumbs to the notion of " I can't do it better, no matter how hard i try" So, as far as his "less than desirable" calligraphy pieces of works were concerned, he knew that he could do better each time he moved the brush and dictated the strokes.
With the guidance, motivation and patience from my lovely wife as well, like they say slowly but surely,those "less than desirable" calligraphy works of his are now the distant past.
Just last week, he was sharing with us that his work was chosen to be the best among his peers of the same league and we are indeed very proud of him.
If there is one thing i can learn from Marvell, it must be TENACITY..........
He can be the most talkative and boisterous boy in his class but he is the happiest.............P/S : I am proud and feel blessed to be the father of these two boys..........
Very beautifully written, like professional! And my my, he sure looks like Mommy - you lost, Eugene... hehe

ReplyDeletechinese calligraphy always very meaningful and beautiful. Unfortunately I "ang moh sai" dono how to read mandarin ><
ReplyDeleteVery well written. He balanced the weight of the strokes well. Must be pretty patient when he's writing. My son's calligraphy is horrible, can paste on the wall to ward off evil.
