Life Is Like A Dew Drop
Asian Philosophy Art

This painting is discounted because of a minor paper flaw. It's just some slightly-lumpy fiber inside the laminated paper - very minor.

Life is Like a Drop of Dew

The text of this painting starts with "Life is like a drop of morning dew".

The meaning is that life is short - the morning dew quickly dries and is gone by the afternoon (enjoy it while you can).

It goes on to say that most people work very hard to be successful - but the more courageous person is the one who doesn't care so much about appearing successful in other people's eyes. This bold person is the one who takes time to enjoy life and good wine.

The Chinese characters are the title that I translated into English above, along with the artist's signature.

BTW: The man is relaxing inside a fantasy-sized gourd.
