Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

In-Com Fu

This is the fourth painting I finished for In-Com Data Systems.  Can you find the logo inside?  (The Logo is the orange part.)  It is the lanterns.

The CEO of In-Com , before he was with In-Com, spent many years in China with another company.  He enjoyed the time he spent in China so much , I made this for his birthday to remind him of some of the beauty there.
This is intended to be a "red lantern" but of course I made it more orange for In-Com.  It is supposed to look like it is glowing, but I am not sure if that really comes across.

The symbol in the middle is Fu, meaning Blessing, Good Fortune,  and/or Good Luck.  

Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It is often posted upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down fu means good luck came since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for came.
