Girl with Fish, Nguyen Trung, 1990.
This beautiful woman has the new year all worked out. She’s got her fish. She’s serene and clear-eyed. She knows how to dress simply, and she knows how to cook. This silver fish will be brushed with oil and ginger and placed on a wood fire, not even gutted. Happy New Year to you Miss Fish Girl. All will be well.

i see that the artist is vietnamese…the vietnamese have a great way w/ fish! i used to teach ESL to vietnamese refugees back in the day. i became familiar w/ their cuisine & much of their culture. they were proud to invite “teacher” into their homes [no matter how small] & to cook & serve wonderful meals in her honor. many of my adult students became close friends. i still like to go to vietnamese restaurants for a great meal. my favorite is “bun tiet nuong”. thanks, SG, for the pic…it brings back lovely memories of my vietnamese friends.
Very pretty but fishy nonetheless. Happy New Year. Hope it’s the best one yet for you. Keep up your excellent work. I mean it…
lovely woman with fish
Thanks Michael.
Happy New Year to you too.
