Year of the Dragon!

Gung Hay Fat Choy! "May Prosperity Be With You" - the popular saying during the Lunar New Year!

The Year of the Dragon!

Most of the world celebrates this Chinese New Year  Holiday.

A local B.C. artist  has an amazing piece of sculpture that is now on display at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C. where there is a large Asian population. 

This same artwork was on display throughout the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver this past summer.

He has also been commissioned to build an eagle sculpture for Dollywood.  Take a peek (by clicking on the links in this blog) at what he is doing! It is nothing short of incredible!

It's one thing to look at photos, but my husband and I had the pleasure of seeing these up close and personal....and even got to talk to the artist himself....Kevin Stone.

If you ever go to Dollywood, you will be able to see the eagle....and know that it migrated all the way from British Columbia!
