Courage

I was commissioned to complete this painting last week. Rachel had seen my art at The Q and was a huge fan. Orignally she wanted a print of a larger painting I had done, but I had that piece professionally framed so it would have been too much of hassel to dismantle it. So instead she agreed to a painting. She wanted it as a gift to her sister who had heart surgery a couple months ago. So for the chinese symbol, I chose "Courage".

Rachel was pleased when I delivered the painting. She said that it exceeded her expectations.

I'm thinking now that I should have made a print of it to sell, since now it is gone and out of reach, but its ok. I will create another one. These are the lessons I have to learn along the way.

I may do a series of paintings with chinese symbols illustrated with flowers.
