Rain's Thursday Art Date - Chinese New Year



Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Chinese New Year' theme. I did this piece a couple of years ago for a Scribble Picnic lantern theme and thought it would be perfect for Rain's theme today. It is done in acrylic (6" x 6") on textured dark blue cardstock. I am trying to show that the red paper lantern is lit up at night as it hangs in a garden.

    Well done. I just wrote on Rain's blog that I began a sketch last Tuesday at my client's house. I hope to work on it today. Thank you for inspiring.

    I remember doing a Chinese New Year theme in my JK classroom. We made egg drop soup! (This was before they laid out themes and curriculum across the grades.)

    Perfect for the theme. I still think about Scribble Picnic, and Michael and Alex.
