The Year of the Rabbit
I guess, officially, tomorrow is the last day of the official celebrations for the Year of the Rabbit, (or cat in Vietnam).

Because we lived for five years in Singapore, this festival has a special place in my heart. I guess that’s why I feel the need to paint about it. Weeks before I begin thinking about it and consider objects, colours and plants that might be included. This year I made two paintings.
