Cindy Wang Welcome

This painting depicts my friend Tara (we call her Tes). Through the loose and translucent nature of watercolour paint, I tried to capture her pure and humble nature. With her kindness and immensely loving personality, it is almost as if she can communicate to the natural world. The birds surrounding her are Welcome Swallows, whose name originates from sailors who knew that the sight of a swallow meant land was near. Tes is my Welcome Swallow, welcoming and calling me home when I am astray.
