DescriptionBamboo and Sparrows is a watercolor on paper painting by Taiwanese artist Chris Ho. Ho was born in Taiwan in 1952 and moved to Los Angeles in 1984. The artist has shown in more than 40 art exhibitions in several countries. Traditionally, the Chinese brush painter is also a master poet. Hence, it is not surprising that Chris Ho also holds a 1997 38th Chinese Literature & Art Award. Nor is it surprising that in 1998, in a nationwide contest, the U.S. Postal Service selected Mr. Ho's Chinese title for their "Stamp by Mail" program as the most apropos. In 2004, the U.S. Dept. of Treasury chose his poem to grace their 88,888 (8 being a lucky number) collector's New Year Prosperity Note packages.
