When I introduced the 4 surface elements of Chinese painting. Mrs. Kat Allie -- the Department Chair of Fine Art Gallery Manager of OTC asked me the meaning of one of my stamp.
When I answer : That is 天道酬勤 -- tiān dào chóu qín - God help those who help themselves. Except use my name chop to make a name stamp, always, I use this stamp on each of my paintig to encourage myself : Shirley, you must work hard.
Dr.Clifton M Smart(the second one from right)-President of Missouri State University said, "Very Good."
