Bride of May by ah_nyeong

This is the traditional Korean costume "Hanbok."

The background of this painting is a traditional Korean painting folk painting. Each element in the Korean traditional folk painting has its own meaning. Butterfly, and cat mean longevity. Besides longevity, butterflies also mean marital love, happiness, joy, hope, and resurrection. Peony means wealth and life. A pair of birds means conjugal love. As such, folk paintings contain all human wishes.

I also personified a stray cat friend in my neighborhood and drew my wishes. The model of this illustration is an existing stray cat living in my neighborhood. The model of this picture is "Kko-nyang," a stray cat in our neighborhood. I wanted to make 'Kko-nyang' a pretty bride of May. Thank you for enjoying my painting. :)

If you visit my personal SNS account, you can see more works of art and pictures of actual cats appearing in them.
