    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like it, too. Can't read any Chinese, though.

    It’s 循xun 道dao.

    Literally it means following path, as it shows on the painting where a small path leading you to the faraway small house.

    Meanwhile, I think it’s also a Matephor here, meaning that people should following a path to pursuit the ultimate wisdom, inner peace, or anything you value. Actually the second character 道 is the same character in Taoism.

    Hello Dundun.

    Thanks so much for the explanation on the characters on my painting, i actualy showed a picture to one one my coworkers who is Chinese and he told me the same as you, "follow the path".
    It actually goes well with what is on the painting, thanks a lot for chiming in ;) !
