Demonstration Painting
The theme for this week's demonstration painting is the Festival for Children (Shichi-go-san). Part of the celebration is the wish for a long and happy life. The actual painting features a crane and a turtle, both symbols of longevity. That is the connection with Shichi-go-san.
