Chinese Bride Painter February 2008
Share This
This is a Chinese bride on her wedding day.
She is wearing a traditional Chinese wedding dress.
Dragon and phoenix are the two symbols of good fortune in Chinese culture.
Dragon represents male and phoenix represents female.
So her dress is sewed with the these two holy creatures.
It did take me lots of time to paint her dress.
I also paint a phoenix on the background to show the happy and noble on her wedding day.
