  This painting is my contribution to this week's DPW "The Help the Children of Africa" challenge. The final winning bid 100% donated to Save the Children Global Action Fund  already.

  Babies could not choose where to be born, but we can help them to get on the same track as other babies, provide the basic needs for them. I chose this subject to present my feeling. They are new born lambs, looks so weak and helpless, all they can do is having a sweet dream for tomorrow...

  I think that no other people will be more superstition than Chinese. We all follow that "rules" telling us what to do, what not to do in daily things. For me, the easy way to keep my luck and energy around me and the family all the time, is to get a very prosperous lucky bamboo in the house, carefully set on the special place, take good care of it. I don't know if it really works or just because I gain more confidence after have the bamboo, it seems like we all get blessed!

  In China, pear has good fortune meaning because we pronounce pear as "Li", it is similar pronounciation to "wealth", "profit" in Chinese. So, when the holiday especially Chinese New Year comes, people put some pears on the table to hope they can have good fortune all year long. Here I painted these two red pears to bring everybody some luck!

  This cat is from downtown Annapolis MD., love his relaxing motion by the door while watching everyone passing in the busy street. I took photo for him when we had vacation in Maryland. I guess maybe he is a cousin of Garfield's! -- he has such worriless life in these days than us.

  This week, the DPW challenge is Karla's "Paint Your Mug Challenge". I finally get chance to show off one of my award from work few years ago--a big old coffee mug. It is seems like a soup bowl with a handle, doesn't have any fancy print on it, but I just love the way to hold it and drink up my daily fuel--coffee or soup.:-]

  It is still a hot hot day, I played with my daughter outside in the afternoon, just for 10 minutes then have to run back inside. But I got chance to take some pictures for my little "ladybug" - today also is her 17 months old birthday! 

  Days go by fast, I feel so lucky to have the chance watching her grow up everyday, grateful for my hard working hubby and his parents support us!
