When I feel weak and worn out 

this Painted Poem piece always gives me a positive shower -

colour of crimson

vigor of Tai fish

and

a reminder of thankfulness - 


*

-TAI in Japanese means : Red Sea Bream, symbolizes celebration of life
-TAI in Japanese verb means : to want 
So I made a word game with these double meanings.
Crimson colour also symbolizes celebration.

The calligraphy here is composed to create a feeling of firm vigorous Tai fish swimming slowly. 

The message is :

 " you were wanted to be in this world,

your life is celebrated and cherished so do love every moment of your life "

The inspiration was :

the power of positive mindfulness / vivid lively colour of crimson / love for life

It is always nice to welcome the Autumn season with beautiful Chrysanthemum.

And It is believed that people used to celebrate the Autumn festival
with Chrysanthemum viewing and Chrysanthemum rice wine.

Here is some flower words for Chrysanthemum:
' noble, please trust me, feminine love, purifying, truth love, broken romance '
- and there are some little differences in each colour.

Chrysanthemum symbolizes not only Autumn, but also kindness, a long and strong life.


So I painted this panting for somebody who I'd like to pay my thankfulness and respect to.
And I put my deep wish - that she will live strong and long -
just like a beautiful wild Chrysanthemum.
