Double Happiness with Hydrangea mixed media still life painting by Polly Jones

Double Happiness with Hydrangea by Polly Jones

The characters on this ginger jar are for "double happiness."  And yes, it really is this bright in person. I am especially happy these days, there is so much to be grateful for in this life.  I was thinking about Matisse window paintings and Sigmar Polke while making this one. Some of the underlying papers are about film and moving pictures (Golden Book Encyclopedia) and arteries (a very old biology book).
