CHINESE WEDDING
Chinese Wedding 20 x 20cm. Oil on canvas. 2005. Early this Spring I was visiting Paris and took a stroll through the Tuileries Gardens. By good fortune, there was a Chinese festival taking place throughout the Gardens. To my amazement I came across a Chinese wedding ceremony in which a multitude of couples were getting married ‘en masse’. Apart from the extraordinary phenomenon of sharing with so many other couples an event that in western culture is very individual, the whole scene was one of joyous celebration and a feast for the eyes, especially a painter’s eyes. I came home and took up my brush.
