First painted Chinese fan

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone ! Wishing you all good health, happiness and prosperity this Lunar New Year of the rabbit.

For all who are not celebrating Chinese New Year I wish you a most blessed year.

This is the artwork i have chosen to share with you this Chinese New Year.

It is the first paper fan i ever painted with Chinese inks. It is a self portrait with mountains and a weeping willow tree. The words read xia yue, ning jing. Meaning quietness is summer time. The stamp has my name and the second stamp like an oval says pu ti. Which means Bodhi in Chinese. Wherever it is the season or has a feeling i use the appropriate stamp.

I think I painted this fan to have one to sit and drink tea in the park, and just fan. Because it is so hot sometimes, i am pretty sure this was why i painted it in summer.

It is the first fan, so i am very much learning to improve. I carry it to remind myself if i try, i can learn something new.

It is very delicate, being paper so it will not withstand the rain so i am careful with it.
