Prominent local artist Anna Wu Weakland will have a painting auctioned by KTEH-TV in its annual benefit auction Nov. 9-13.

Weakland painted the Chinese symbol for “tiger” on handmade rice paper for the auction. The picture-word stands for strength and vitality, Weakland said.

Weakland has taught Chinese brush painting at her studio on the border of Los Altos Hills and Palo Alto for 15 years. The painting, 32-by-38 inches, was framed by FastFrame of Los Altos. For more information, call Weakland at 948-1503.
