I went back to Beijing in Feb 2013 for the Chinese new year, this year is 癸巳- the water snake, which reminds me a famous Chinese folk lore "The tale of the White Snake".
In the story a white snake turned into a human lady form and married a guy she fall in love with, but a monk doesn't approve the love between human and demon, he took away the man and locked him into his temple. The snake was furious and turn back into a giant snake and try to use water magic to drown the entire temple.

I painted this quickly with some Chinese parinting and mark making technique in my father's studio.
