Chinese Calligraphy 中國書法 Scroll "Peace Love Joy (和平愛喜)"

Writing "Peace Love Joy" in cursive and semi-cursive Chinese calligraphy for Katia from Russia during a Chinese music concert of Master Betty Zhang in McKinney Performing Arts Center in Texas. The writing was done on a pre-mounted blank scroll with printed dragons in light gold. Though the pre-mounted blank scroll can sometimes be wrinkled due to handling, the wrinkles can be removed with an iron. Like music performers trying to play correct notes, writing on a pre-mounted scroll can be risky since the Chinese ink cannot be changed. So I humbly asked the audience to understand and be as quiet as possible to avoid any distraction; otherwise, I lose the money and the scroll if a single stroke or any artistic detail has disappointed me.
First two characters ( 和平 ) mean peace; third ( 愛 ) love; last ( 喜 ) joy.

that must be a real expensive mounted scroll. the one with gold flecks is already considered expensive, this one even has the dragon image ;)

@jishuenkam I was lucky to purchase a large quantity of premounted scrolls between $12 to $15 each. I knew I had demands for public so I had to make decisions like that. You may find many from Taobao.

It seems so easily to you. Besides, do you write seal character ("zhuan shu" )too ...

[artvirtue]

Chinese seal pastes have different colors such as red, yellow, green , gold, and etc. We usually place the seals first on small pieces of yellow or white paper and then paste it onto the red Xuan paper. In public events, I rarely use seals since the paste will not be completely dry in a few months and most likely the recipients of the calligraphy will stain the paste if they don't handle with extreme care.

[CWT33]

Do you place your seal on this type of calligraphy (on red paper)? What color seal ink would you use for that kind of paper? Thank You.

Amoung the Chinese "eight virtues" why do you have two characters for peace but one for love?

I feel the peacefulness of art and blessing. Thank you so much.
