Description
I read that the New Year was a time of concern in ancient days. It was said that spirits less than benevolent may be unleashed, so to scare them away firecrackers and lanterns were lit. I have no idea if this is true but it sounds interesting. Chinese lanterns painted in a rustic old world way.

The chromatic scheme of this painting simply takes my breath away every time I see it. Splendid work in all ways, Bob ! f,l P.S. : Didn't know that on February 19th it will be the year 4712. Interesting information, indeed.

You are too kind Ana, thank you! It will be the year 4712 according to the Chinese calendar on February 19th, isn't that interesting?
