Auspicious grain
Ink and Colour on Paper

The rice in this painting is taller than ordinary rice, with lush stems and leaves, and ears that are plump and heavy, all pointing the way to a bumper harvest. It is a metaphor for prosperous times and a reflection on the good governance that made it possible.
