Chinese Peasant Painting


Nine Gold Fish

The meaning of the fish standing for with abundanceeach year comes from a Chinese idiom "nian nian you yu". Chinese people always think nine is the largest number, and the pronunciation Jiu is the same as long, forever. This nine fish scroll is the best blessing for having abundance in your life.

I have painted it on a canvas board using poster colors.
