"Lucky Bamboos"I like to draw still subjects. One day, I was sick...and bored of being sick, and my gaze settled on these lucky bamboos. I had made Joseph and Smitha buy them for me after Joseph killed my bamboo plant (they were supposed to take care of it while I was gone on one of my conferences).
Free hand drawing, and water colors.
I kinda like this one! :)

Hey, that is what they are called..."Lucky Bamboos"! Why they are called so, I have no clue. Apparently, one should have them in numbers of 3,5,7,9,15 etc. Each set of bamboos is supposed to bring you luck, happiness, prosperity etc. I am not sure which number signifies what!
Unfortunately, one of the bamboos in this pot has perished as well!
:(
:) nice still art!
excellent painting..I like the leaves especially..really beautiful.
Thats true Jas..the chinese believe that bamboos bring good luck and are considered a sign of prosperity...like Vaasthu Shastra in India...the Chinese practice the art of Feng Shui which literally means Wind nd Water.
Thanks for visiting my blog, Akshay.
Oh, I wasn't sure whether the bamboos were also a part of the feng shui.
