Happy Lunar New Year- Deaf Horse and Dragon
Chinese Red lanterns shine bright at nights celebrating till full moon. Cross stitches is Ellen's trademark.

Horse people carry the characters of energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. They like to be in a crowd and entertainment.  Horse is an admirable mammal that they can be travel so far and run very fast.
Chinese New Year Culture celebrates a parade with dragon dance. Many people inside the dragon float and carry it.

I painted Dragon’s body with many hands and its face show sign language of Dragon.  Dragon’s body is combined with Deaf Horse’s long tail and mane.
The bottom on left corner shows the Chinese year.
