Here is the other panda painting of mine which is now hanging outside the boardroom of the Toronto Zoo.

It is titled " Happiness Is Getting Along ", inspired by the Chinese saying  樂也融融.   

I created 5 pandas representing the 5 continents, symbolizing the ethnic mix in Toronto. This world would be a much happier place if we can all accept our differences and get along in harmony.

The Toronto Zoo then commissioned me to create a limited edition of prints for sale at the zoo souvenir shop. The prints are based on my original paintings, but customized to celebrate the happy family of pandas in Toronto.
