The meaning behind the painting:
- Chinese ink on rice papers
76.5cmx46.5cm
Silver frame with border
There are 9（九）roses, including the bud, representing an auspicious word in Chinese, 久， meaning everlasting and eternal and the roses are arranged such that two are bigger than the rest, a painting to signify that from two people, comes future generations of children. The rose can also represent the women from the Women of Vision, who decided to come together to make a difference to the lives of children and while it is still a budding organisation (the singular bud), we hope it will spin off many offsprings and bring about hope and love to the vulnerable children we are helping.
The word 恒 means eternal and it is the artist’s wish that the one who bought this painting will be blessed with eternal blessings of love!
All proceeds will go towards helping the vulnerable children from Chiangmai under World Vision.
Silent auction starts from an auspicious $488. You can do an online bidding at https://goo.gl/forms/QiweOtEqvqiG3EJj1
