Delightful post and illustration. Really liked all the Chinese proverbs... they say so much in beautifully descriptive language.Just looked at my verification word to post this comment and its JOYAH - very apt for celebrating Chinese New Year.
since my visit to hong kong 25 years ago, i adore all things chinese, the reds are redder than red.
Happy New Year Margaret. The chinese characters are well done. I think they are difficult to write. The painting is very chinese too. Beautiful.
And a happy, prosperous and safe new year to you, my friend!
Simply stunning, your posts always brighten my day!
Our humble new President is in fact born as Obama the Ox. He will plow our field for years.
What a great post and beautiful drawing!
Margaret, I thought of your talent when I volunteered for an art miles project at the Long Beach Aquarium. I am working up an illustration for two 5x12 canvas panels to be painted by children of all ages next Tuesday. Your talent would make you a natural for this. Thanks for visitng my blog.
