With the hot color, the "Golden Dragon" fruit, that are an Au Lac specialty, appear very lively, although "Homesick" is a still-life painting. The composition denotes a very different, unique, unorthodox type of painting, as are other paintings from the talented Supreme Master Ching Hai.

One "Golden Dragon" fruit is set behind another one that is shown cut into halves, displaying two similar circles close together. Several leaves, green but warm, lie peacefully in a wicker basket. The vigorous color of the leaves mixes with the soft outline of the basket to form a very concrete and romantic composition.

The two circular pieces of cut fruit present an image of the sun and moon, that either hints of the infinity of time and space, the brilliant light of dawn, or the tender light of the moon at night. Looking back again, the pulp of the fruit in a light velvety color forms the background for the tiny, shiny dark seeds which look like glistening stars. The sweetness and freshness of the fruit takes the viewer back to a rich and prosperous land filled with fresh, scented flowers and sweet fruit next to a blue water river in western Au Lac, where most of the delicious and precious fruit of the country are grown.

The "Golden Dragon" is a very special tree; it may be considered a tree as well as a vine because it has a very thick and strong vine-like stalk, which resembles an image of a blue dragon flying up into the sky. Its skin is a red-violet color, decorated with green leaves like a tiara worn by a queen; a beautiful crown carefully crafted by the hands of God.

The "hot" color makes the green leaves look warmer; the grayish, light purple color of the fruit's pulp is like the "hometown" which the lost stars return to. The rich character of the Au Lac land is only humbly shown; in effect, it really zealously touches the viewers' hearts. Each person's soul reveals that our true Home is that immortal world of moons and stars. The Golden Dragon fruit softly reminds us like the words of our mother, like a proclamation from God who solemnly advises us to return to love.

Looking at the painting "Homesick," we naturally feel a warm and familiar feeling that brings us back to a wonderfully pleasant peace. All reasoning totally ends, all arguments completely subside. We float into the dream of the current of poems and music formed by color and sound. The painting "Homesick" delivers these wonderful elements to the souls of each one of us to help us realize God's greatest creation, and the goodness and beauty which has always been within us.
