Thursday Art Date

Chinese New Year #art

January 23, 2020 /

Today’s art theme is Chinese New Year. The only thing about Chinese I know is I like the food, they decorate with beautiful lanterns, and often incorporate a dragon in their festivities.  This is the year of the rat according to Google. Anyhow, I worked together these common elements in the scene below.  

Google translated Happy New Year from English to Chinese. Hopefully it’s right. Was I to supposed to have written the text vertically?
Same illustration as above except using Pixelmator photo-editing app I applied an oriental background as a screen overlay. If you look very closely you’ll see the texture of the design. I felt my original needed a little something extra.

Thanks for stopping in with your coffee for a peek at my masterpiece and …oh yeah for not spilling it on my artwork. 😉

It’s a super pleasure to share my newest illustration with you this morning. 😘  Follow me to Rain’s Garden to browse through the gallery of artistry!

I’ll be back tomorrow with an edition of Friday Fun Stuff chockful of giggles, fill-ins, & more! Come join the fun!
