“Year of the Pig-Joy (3),” Print, 8″x11″

There is always great hope in the face of fear. And, it is possible that we could experience sudden awakening, unexpected awareness and co-mingling of joy and pain in the darkest moments of despair, hope and change. In this painting, the joyful boy holds money-shaped flowers with his right hand, and a small banner meaning “all auspicious, smooth” with his left hand. The beautiful girl carries a vase with lotus flower (symbolizing beauty and purity) and peony flower (symbolizing prosperity). The immortal peaches symbolize good health, long life. The happy Mr. Pigs wish to bring many good things for you and your loved ones.
