"A Pair of Pears" --- Sold


Pear in Chinese symbolizes leaving, separating, or going to a place far from home. I had this "pear" feeling last night. As many of you, I watched the Olympic Marathon at my American home. Through my HD TV screen, I really enjoyed Beijing, A city I spent 24 years in this place. Following the athletes from all over the world, I saw the place I was born, the place I spent my childhood, and the building my parent still live in. I felt I was at home.

  1. I love the light on these pears. It must be hard living in another country, I can't imagine. It was probably wonderful and sad to watch the olympics and see China.

  4. I'm happy that the Chinese got their moment to shine. It must be difficult to leave your homeland.
    You are a marvelous painter, Qiang!
