Progress / Flourishing / Recognition - I Ching Hexagram #35

Chin, Jin, Qian, a Chinese character meaning progress, flourishing, recognition. The hexagram shows the sun rising above the earth. I have been painting my interpretation of these hexagrams, using heavy watercolor paper and putting a white border around the acrylic and collage paintings. I have usually asked the I Ching which hexagram to interpret, but this time I wanted to portray the light growing, because so much darkness has seemed to pervade human society recently. Below are two ways of drawing the character.
