THE CHIAROSCURO PEONY... in it... so much more than a flower?
FOR ALL THE DETAIL AND BEAUTY, View LARGE and On PROPER Black
I was fortunate to grow up in a family of great readers!
We had a wealth of books in different languages to choose from!
The novel Peony, by Pearl S. Buck, I read at a fairly young age, in English, because, I was raised in 3 languages.
I remember enjoying it, but now realise I did not fully understand...

The Concepts of Yin-Yang
Presented Throughout
Peony
A revisiting is imminent!
Pearl was a wise lady and proved it in everything that she wrote, no wonder she was awarded the Nobel Prize!
Here are some of her quotes that I favour:
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:
A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him... a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death."
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."
— Pearl S. Buck
"Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness."
— Pearl S. Buck
"The secret of joy in work is contained in one word-excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it."
— Pearl S. Buck
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.
