Laughing Buddha,Dragon, Pixiu and Coronavirus

Bijan ,your written voice echos the Buddha in it’s generosity. Every artist values kind words and I value yours . You have made my evening , thank you a million times !!

Hello beautiful Susan, if I mentioned this before, it's worth repeating. You wrote, "May my art make your heart sing." It's impossible not to have a singing heart, a joyful art looking at something so lovely as this artwork. Your gallery is sheer delight, my lady.

Wonderful work !

I appreciate your remarks so very much about the Buddha and this art .Last November I had the privilege of seeing the Buddha in China,. I walked the 200 steps up hill to its base and lite a candle. I was educated by traveling and learning how many of the Chinese people follow the teachings and worship at many of the temples all over China.I especially love the Laughing Buddha for its encompassing LOVE. I would love to know the story behind your healing from it. Yes , I do not know why it is sideways and Thank -you

It is so easy to fall in love with this magical painting that is filled with good fortune and protection Susan!! growing up in a Chinese environment, i know the composition and the story of the characters well. i love how you added so much personality into them. i particularly love the laughing buddha the most, because he saved my life once when i was a little kid, he lifted the evil spirit out of my body, so i can move and speak again. fabulous work!! L/F (ps - the image is presented side way, not sure if it is intentional or a mistake by faa)

Hi Randy, Thank you so very much for your kind words. I have several jade sculptures which I brought back from China, this past fall - these inspired me. They were white and green jade so I had to invent their personalities and colors.

Susan, I love so much your interpretation of this laughing Buddha. Your signature style and lively painting technique continues with this work. I love acrylics and see you do too. It shows. F/L.

Thanks Bunny

After visiting China last fall- 2019 and then listening to the world wide reports of the dangerous coronavirus , I felt compelled to start a China painting series , I have found I know very little about 1.4 billion Chinese people. I want to change that.
