Fish Painting Brings Good Fortune

Every wanted a fish tank but didn't have the space? Well how about one of these on your wall? It is another example of Vietnamese Lacquer art. In my last post I showed one of the more modern styles of Vietnamese Lacquer art. This example is more traditional and might well be found in any Vietnamese or Chinese home or restaurant.

It is a stunning piece of work, the fish being made of mother of pearl inlaid on beautiful vermilion lacquer. This is a new piece and was added to the Karuna Village gallery - www.karunavillage.com - only a few days ago. It is said in Vietnam, that if you have a fish painting hanging on the wall of your house, it can bring good fortune onto the household. Personally, I always feel fortunate when I have great art adorning my walls. What a great piece this would make for a bathroom!
