The ancient Chinese wisemen searched for such Glory and yearned for the peace on earth they envisioned in their heart. They pen down these 6 steps of attainment: 诚意sincere will 正心upright heart 修身disciplined self 齐家harmonized family 治国well governed nation平天下Peace on earth.
Herber V. Prochnow in his700 Illustrations ideas for Speakers, p128 translated as such:" If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be love in the home. If there is love in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world". Yet prior to the righteous heart, there is an sincered alignment of the will. Aligned to the highest God in His glory.
It is easy to memorize the concise Chinese proverb. So make it your 2015 reminder.
No comments: Thursday, December 25, 2014 2014 Christmas gratitude and reflection.Dear beloved creative friends:
I want to thank you forsupporting Joyousbrush Club in the past or present in journeying with me in search of aesthetic excellence, as Confucius' explains :". What the "Great Learning" teaches is: to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence." The aesthetic excellence is in the condition of the soul, be itrich or poor, splendid or barren. Brush painting is the language we use to explore, communicate and enrich our soul. Brush paintingtechniques or the products is only the means for such reflection.
Confucius continues: ". The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to.To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.
The rest he states here is the vision, the aim or the ultimate goal. What better rest can we find than in the Christmas story. The ultimate wisdom demonstrates how to instill goodwill to sin ridden men, which is by replacing our sin ridden spirit with the spirit of truth and grace through whatever it takes kind of sacrifice. So a child is born, a sinless son is given in order for the exchange life to take place. He takes over our sin and it's curse as we take over His righteousness and blessing.
Once the point where to rest is known, then the object of pursuit can be determined.Education should first instill goodwill to man then move on with the empowerment of achievements. The object of pursuit is to revive and nourish our poor spirit. Not to cover up with layers of masks but to calmly receive the amazing grace which allows us to see our soul in its deprived and depraved condition without fearing the curse associates with it. With such acceptance we then can calmly, deliberately, diligently grow out of such condition. The growth of a righteous spirit is to explore truth, to promote love and to pursue beauty.
I am one who received such grace, so I am administer the same to build communities of truth seeker, love promoter and beautypursuer.
Merry Christmas to you allNo comments: Saturday, November 15, 2014 My Tellico Village Joyousbrush worshop delighthonest effort, rekindled passion, boundless goodness and contagious joyThese are the kind of fruit I labor for. I am so blessed by people like Mary Kay and the kind of experiences captured by her gracious words.No comments: Friday, June 20, 2014 Plain Air at ChastainWe painted outdoor at our last Chastain class. The live band was playing the blues in the background. The weather was perfect 10. No mosquitos. Delightful group of friends. We would not discovered such treat if the center was not locked. What a memorable way to end our extended Spring sessions. No comments: Updated personal mission statementFor the past 2 years, my work took a turn. Instead of realize beauty on paper, I desire to realize beauty in people. My canvas has been transferred from 2 dimensional to 4 dimensional. I found a common need and serve people with it. What a delight it is to discover those who are humble and true, deligent and grateful. Through this experience, my mission statement is now updated from:
To proclaim truth, promote love and pursue beauty to:
Building communities where truth can be proclaimed, love promoted and beauty pursued.
The updated mission statement merges my leisure and work. I can go about fulfilling my mission both at leisure and at work, finding pleasure at work and productivity at leisure.

No comments: Saturday, October 27, 2012 Young Audiences Brush Painting workshops I represented Young Audiences of Woodruff Art Center to give a brush painting workshop at Drew Charter school in Atlanta. We had luxurious 75 minutes, but it still seem to be short. Wonderful participation and great work.
This is at Cherokee Christian School after a Young Audience Brush Painting workshop, these middle school students are so enthusiastic and satisfied that they commanded a victory post. No comments: Chastain Week 7
I saw a new enthusiasm among the students wanting to try new things. That's the life and the growth that make life exciting. We venture, we gain some and loss some, but on the way we are revitalized. How wonderful it is to be revitalized by the beauty within each of us, whether in appreciation, in discovery, inpursue or in attainment. No comments: Monday, October 22, 2012 Chastain Week 6 From bud to bloomTo know a subject well you want to capture the various stages of its growth. Composing elements through time adds another dimension of expression. This is how artist cantranscendtime.No comments: Monday, October 8, 2012 Chastain week 5It is so interesting to converse with the elderly and get their perspective in life. The wise ones have the stages figured out. They understand what mental shifts will happen when. This is what I call the richness of the soul. insights like such comes from rich soul. Brush painting is one of the tools to manifest rich souls.
That's why talking with great artists, not justartisans, are so satisfying. No comments: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 chastain week 4This is a painting I did prior to the class arrival. It's so wonderful to share my joy with the interested. I will start putting on the picture of the week for silent auction. This being the 1st one. The highest bidder gets the painting. The auction will end before the next painting goes up on Tuesday. If you want the painting to be mounted on another rice paper for matting(a standard practice on rice paper) it will be $25. Shipping and handling is $10.
This was one of my students practice sheet. He had 5 Chrysanthemum on the paper. I helped him link some up and compose into a painting. The rest 2 are left for him to struggle with. This process will teach you to place the flowers in strategic places when you practice. I worked with the students individually on their subjects, including peony, landscape, hydreagea, chrysanthemum and daisies.
An introduction workshop is offered at The Art Place on 10/13/12 from 1:30 to 5pm. You may register with TAPhttp://prca.cobbcountyga.gov/TheArtsPlace.htm. I will love to get you started with this art form.No comments: Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Chastain week3Chrysanthemum is a stroke driller. You get so much practice out of painting this flower. It was so much fun to have the students participate in the composition of this painting. The challigraphy says " Harmonious Cooperation". That's the delight in gathering with creative people.
If you want to explore this art form. I am offering a Chinese Brush Painting weekend workshop on 10/13/12 at The Art Place from 1:30 to 5pm. I would love to pass the joy ofbrush painting to you.
No comments: Chastain 2One of my students wants to paint bunnies. So we venture out into a new exploration. If you are not intimidated by the challenges posted around you, then learning will take place. The joy of growing will payback many folds if you can overcome the initial resistance.
No comments: Saturday, September 15, 2012 Chastain Art Center Week 1It was good to gather with brush painting lovers to paint together for a morning. I shared that brush painting in many ways is like a performance. When you paint, it is like giving a recital. The strokes are perfected through practice. The understanding comes through daily digestion of the subjects. The composition is your choreography of your accumulated understanding. The expression embrace your collected delight and aspiration. The painting exudes your philosophical attainment and reach. The whole painting represent your signature. No one can copy it. They can receive your spirit as a disciple as you apprentice under other great masters. The technique makes technitions, it is the spirit that makes masters. So the main challenge for a artist is to take care that your spirit is aligned to the highest worthy spirit you can find. No comments: Friday, January 6, 2012 Happy New Year from Joyousbrush Club
Dear Creative friends
Happy New Year from Joyousbrush Club.
CharlotteMason, 1842-1923, founder of the Charlotte Mason College of Education in England, stated "There are few joys in life greater and more constant than our joy in Beauty. It is only through our Aesthetic Sense that we can take full pleasure in what we see and hear, to an extend that our soul over flow the joy and expression which often produce new forms of beauty in all application of life".
Joyousbrush Club seeks to awake your students' Aesthetic sense, so that they may be delightfully engaged in beauty in all circumstances and application of life. We all need to be trained to see and to have our eyes opened before we can take in the joy that is meant for us in this beautiful world. Joyousbrush Club seeks to teach each student in their own brush strokes how to document this art of seeing.
Charlotte Mason continues "It is our business to bring Beauty to places where it is not. Forhappinesscomes of effort, service, wide interests and of enjoyment. We do not want to miss the happiness to which the Beauty Sense was meant to minister, the joy of life to all without exclusivity.

2011CHRISTMAS GREETING FROM THE TSOS
Merry2011 Christmas. Joy to the world, not because times are good, butbecause the Lord has come.
Christmasis beautiful, not because the lights and the sounds of Christmas, butbecause what happened in that silent night two thousand years ago.
YetChristmas is beautiful. Silent night will not remain silent, forgrateful souls can't stop singing about it. Holy night will notremain calm, for joyful souls can't stop celebrating this Holy birth.Man'sfear of punishment is replaced by God's saving grace. Truth neverhas to be distorted to spare sinners. Love never has to becompromised to uphold justice.
Liveslived in meaninglessness and purposelessness often force honest soulson search journey. Many treasures may be found, but only one restsour soul. The wise men searched near and far, and God directed themto the most beautiful treasure, Immanuel (God with us). Their eyesare opened to divine beauty. Their world is now beautiful in thesubstance of their hope.
Let'scelebrate Christmas with a child like delight. It is not what weeat, but what we know that nurtures us. Not the food but the GoodNews that satisfies us. We know the author of Christmas; He is Holy. We know the gift of Christmas; He is love. We know the joy ofChristmas; our brothers and sisters have received and passed it on,so have we. Celebrate Christ child born in us this Christmas. Let His life grow up in us and restore all peace.
Blessings,Tomand Tehwan TsoNo comments: Thursday, December 1, 2011 Joyousbrush Brush Painting demonstration DVDMath is a beautiful thing. My daughter needed help in Calculus. I told her I will look at her text book to see if I still remember them from my college days. As I was readingderivativesandintegration, I was attracted to the beauty of discovery and application of understandings through model and theory building. I was reading her math text book with as much interest as my art books.
Math is like what my art is. I am forever finding thesimplestway to paint something from understanding, especially the design in nature. Instead of painting what I see, I paint what I understand. I see to understand, not to copy. That's why I don't use references when I paint. But I am always collecting references for my understanding as I acquired a lifestyle of observation to satisfy my curiosity. My painting is a validation of what I understand, not only by my own eyes but also by others.
Why nature? For one, my bamboo brushes paint shapes besides lines. They can handle organic shapes better than geometric shapes. For two, I like the validation from people of all nationality and background. I don't have to explain nature, every one agrees with nature. More importantly I am learning from the Master designer who created the universe with all the intricate designs. I am not learning from the objects of nature alone, but the creative mind of the Ultimate Designer through what He created.
Joyousbrush demonstration DVD captured the process of painting in the most direct way: from front to back, from topic subjects to decorative objects, emotion supported by logic, disciplined yet free. It plays out like music recital, the rhythms, the execution of strokes and the composing the parts to make the whole. It builds likemathematics, theory upon theory. It entertains like performance, the thoughts behind each stroke and the emotion deliberated. Hopefully I can take you on a tour through this DVD so you can see what I am talking about. This 42 minutes DVD is made available for your most creative Christmas present at $19.99. Be joyful always as Joyousbrush documents my personal mission statement to proclaim truth, promote love and pursue beauty.No comments: Saturday, September 24, 2011 The Road at Glimpses of His Glory

After the Dream Only Passion Remains - DanteNo comments: Kincaid Joyousbrush Club
The children did great following my instructions in painting their 1st angel fish. After that you can see their creative outburst in creating angel fish community and their habitat. I have attached my sample painting for your reference. They did not copy mine. They created their own free hand. Each person's stroke are unique, their preferences are different, this is only their first experience on the rice paper. They did great with the line work and the control of the moisture in their brush.
The students are allowed to take their paintings home. But they have to remember to bring them back so we will have ourportfolioin the end of the school year. Most students left their paintings in my keeping. I will request spaces in school to display their paintings down the road.
Thank you for sharing your children with me as we seek to multiply joy together.No comments: Thursday, August 18, 2011 Joyoubrush Painting ClubThe Joyousbrush Club is now offered atKincaid Elementary School,Shallowford Elementary School,Taiwanese School of Atlnata,(www.taiwaneseschoolofatlanta.com)as well as School demonstration through Cobb County Artist in School Program andBrush Painting Workshops through Young Audiences (www.yawac.org)

No comments: Classes offeredChritmas Monday, November 30, 2009 Artist Within Cards 3/8Card#3. The art of seeingTo see in focus is to uncover the true identity of the subject matter. Instead of recognizing things or naming them, know them intimately.
To see in proportion establish one's value and emphasis.
To see in perspective, learning to see by learning to paint, will cause other changes in the perceptions of life around them
To see in relationship, the whole in relationships to the parts,discover discrepancy in missing parts or misfitted parts.
To see in pattern will develop intuition or global, integrative thinking through seeing large amounts of information in patterns or relationships.
To see in rhythm multiplies delight and comfort, guiding emotional response by sorting through the random
To see in meaning and making sense by resolving the ambiguity
To see differently will cause us to think differently.
To see with anticipation will develop our concentration and alertness instead of our mindless wondering and day dreaming.
To see with your heart will bless you with time passed with emotion and revelation instead of boredom and meaningless existence. Nature is a constant source of inspiration and learning.
To see with your mind will liberate your ego as the mind is directed and occupied by interests outside of self, translating the ideas from facts observed.
To see beyond is to project from given
To see within is to waken subtle emotions or suppositions yet unnamed. The resonance in hearts reinforce the cognitive shift for creative thinking.
To see spiritually may emerge through deep understanding of natural facts, bridging the communication between the divine and mortal result in a breakthrough in perception and a new realm of understanding.
To share the vision is to make the unknown known through visual communication. If you can see the invisible, you can do the impossible.No comments: Artist Within Cards 2/8Card#2. Purpose
My purpose in teaching and sharing art is to invite others
To see with fresh eyes
To marvel with wonder
To reflect with honesty
To know with confidence
To trust with understanding
To create with enthusiasm
To delight with passion
To share with joy
To praise with gratitude
To worship with freedomNo comments: Artist Within Cards 1/8Card#1. Beauty
To pursue beauty one has to travel the road of Truth with understanding and Love with character. When Truth is rejected, love will be distorted, and beauty substituted. There are so many hurting people in this world. They are hurt by deception and rejection. The deceived perpetuates deception, the rejected reacts with rejection. Truth breaks the power of deception; beauty breaks the power of rejection. Beauty invites, beauty heals, beauty satisfies.
Everything become beautiful when we love, for beauty is of the heart. Beauty is a heart attitude matured from goodness, which results from truthful, honest and sincere heart. So if we live by truth, goodness will emerge. And if we exercise goodness, beauty will manifest. Let us pursue beauty, promote goodness and proclaiming truth.No comments: ExhibitionsMy paintings exhibitions:
