Looking forward to a good harvest


Looking forward to a good harvest - watercolour on Fabriano rough 300gsm - 40cm x 26cm

In this Chinese new year I thought I would like to present an optimistic picture
with some nodding reference to China.

To me this rice farmer is the embodiment of rural China.

The structure of the straw hat combined with its translucency made it a challenge to paint.
