Happy Chinese New Year!

Plum blossoms! One of the most beloved flowers in Chinese culture and a favorite motif for Chinese New Year. Unlike other flowers, they bloom in the harshest of environments, the middle of the winter. Their spirit mirrors the spirit of the Chinese: resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Happy Chinese New Year and may the year of the Ox bring you happiness and prosperity!
Painting by Artist Li Lin

HAPPY NEW YEAR. We're learning to do Sumi-e brush painting and shui-mo hua in art class to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Awwww... that's great. I love Chinese/Japanese watercolor paintings. So romantic and mystical! But is it messy with the kiddies :-)
