Welcoming the (Chinese) New Year of the Ox

The year of the Ox 己丑 is almost here (just 6 more days), and like last year, I put my calligraphy brush to good use, writing a few 福 to put up in the house. The one above is in regular script 楷書 while the one below is in cursive script 草書.And not to forget, the ever famous 春联 below. This year, I spent a bit of time to think up of my own 春联, which you can see below. I tried to use repeating Chinese characters to form up a suitable phrase, but it doesn't rhyme very well when you read it aloud in Mandarin... sigh...Wishing everyone a happy Chinese New Year!
