熏........................EB1-23

My friend Wang Luhuan, a well known artist told me that, before leaving China, he needs more time to be 熏 at the Palace Museum. When I watched at Sargent's portrait, I recalled his words, and I did diligently, for I went nine times, spent total about twenty hours in front of that painting. In the whole exhibition, probably it is only me who set a record. That is exactly how Sargent become a legend, by熏. We Chinese were late to be exposed to outside world, I was lucky enough to view a lot of Russian painting in books, so I am not too "tu3".

On words study, besides painting, I have been 熏 in dictionary,without other practices like writing, etc. Yesterday, I had a new discovery on a word, after so many years, my good lord, finally!

Well, let's listen to "Fumigate熏 with Lilac's" reading. And don't forget Beijing #2's persistency.
