My Painting: Gourd 福禄

Hi steemians:
Today I would like to share with you the painting - gourd.
A gourd is a large round fruit with a hard skin and also is a container made from the hard dry skin of a gourd fruit. Gourds are often used to carry water or for decoration. In China, it is a symbol of wealth because it is homophonic to character wealth in Chinese, so it is always loved by people.

葫芦是一种可以食用得瓜果，晒干后还可以制作盛水得容器，或者装其他东西得容器。由于葫芦和福禄是谐音，而且枝上得蔓又谐音“万”，蔓带即万代，有着非常美好寓意，福禄万代。所以它一直很受人们得喜爱。今天就给大家分享一下宝葫芦。
