watercolor!!

This work is scanned, but the original is more beautiful... I was thinking of taking photos of it but is certainly a whole new set of skill.. 





ANYWAY, 
Haven't write about it, So I guess I will share my other INTENSE interest...

to Napoleon Bonaparte!! ( I know i'm weird like that XD) 
I even started buying books about him.. 
 Read Louise Marchand's diary and Betsy Balcombe's Diary... 
( and still of books, from his private doctors, to his grand marshal, etc) 
he was so charming!!. 
I keep imagining if he was alive in today's world... 
( OK, this is desperation on a new level) 
many people had very bad idea about him ( especially my Indonesian friend...) 
the moment they heard Napoleon, they think of a man that crown himself emperor 'for life', 
well for 18th century, that is pretty normal... NO, that's normal!!
That he killed a lot of people, or that, he is equal to Nazi... 
So I have to explain it all over, before they get interested and pick the book themselves XD
And, to be honest, he is charming, smart and good looking ( I mean it!) 

His life, I think is very tragic... and he was widely misunderstood by the world... 
Everytime I think about him, it makes me sad, the tragic ends he faced, loosing everything, including the image that he very much cared about.

Today I was presenting my idea of making a book in Napoleonic era theme( huge Napoleon fans!!)
but then decided to make the princess wearing Marie Antoinette's dress, but then I believe it has to be consistent, so I will change it back... so everything has to be Napoleonic,


In fact, now that I think about it,  who loved Napoleon wouldn't like Marie Antoinette... unless you like him for his look ( like me XD) 

One of the girl says, " well, you say it was Napoleonic, did you even do research?" 
WOW, this is personal !!!!

BWAHAHAHAHA, what she say is true though, Napoleonic era are waaay different from the Bourbons...
