October National Holiday

October first, Thursday;

Today is the first official day of National holiday in China and especially this year has more effect as it is the 60th anniversary of republic of china.

It is great to see the ambience of city and streets during the holidays as everywhere is kind of idle ,tranquil and peaceful you can breath easier and not that much traffic and honking horn and noise pollution hit your face.

Hu jin tau ,The Chinese president made a big ,foppish speech on Tiananmen square in the center of Beijing ,talked about opening- up policy and socialism. The development and the progress during these 60 years in china, in which is a truth in fact.

But actually if we go back before opening doors to thee world and making free trade, China was almost around 30 years was struggling after referendum of Chairman Mao who is the symbol of freedom from capitalism and bring republic to china.
As a matter of fact you can feel how fundamentally china has been changing , particularly during the last decade.

This is the sixth year that I have been living in China and this year as last October me and Wijb decided not to go on trip anywhere and save the money for January, as winter holiday possibly go to Europe again and plans for marriage eventually and hopefully.

Anyhow we have a-7 more day holiday and I have to go back to work earlier than Wijb as I presume from the news which I have heard.

Recently I am using my time to do something especial with painting .In fact from picture and memories from Germany and Holland to create character and make them alive by drawing on the paper and add colors. So I am luckily in mood of painting and I am so delighted about it.

Today I was in middle of a sketch from Wijb’’s face and then have decided to add some color to my preliminary well-done sketch.
It is a good feeling for an artist when try to transfer her/his mind and feeling in the paper and communicate with audiences ,but not this feeling is elusive. As far as I know myself maybe others similar to me, as in a period of time I am so impulsive and obsessive to do something what ever it could be and it needed to be done, it must be ended, otherwise my days go hell and monotonous.
It doesn’t need to be very foppish masterpiece, it can be some idyllic black and white charcoal style sketches, but it talks to me and gives me motivation how to expose inside of myself.
