– Confucius

The photo reference was from Joel at WetCanvas. This little painting is going to be on it’s way to Joel in the Philippines later today. It’s really fun when we make online art friendships. I have several paintings in my house and office from other countries, thanks to my friends at WetCanvas. Quite often, we just do a trade.
About Confucius
The ancient Chinese social philosopher Confucius founded the ethically based philosophical system which became known as Confucianism. Legend says that he was born in 551 B.C. to a 70-year-old father and a 15-year-old mother. At age 50, frustrated with politics, he left his job as Justice Minister and began a 12-year journey around China. Returning home, he taught a growing number of disciples “The Way” and wrote a set of books called the Five Classics. He died in 479 B.C.
