"Ang Ang Tai Kiat"

This piece of painting started off with being ALL RED. As in I painted the background first.....which is NOT the norm. Usually, the background is the LAST to go on. I wanted something RED. Thus the title of the painting. Hokkiens will understand what it means. Basically, the English translation loosely means "Red Red Prosperous" (I think).The Chinese lady was an after-thought. :-)

I managed to complete this last Monday, despite of my aching arm... Actually, I totally forgot that my arm was aching whilst painting. I was totally immersed in the task!
