Close up view of the plum blossom artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll
This is a very traditional and sophisticated wall scroll.
The Chinese characters include the year painted (2007), the artist's signature red stamp, and an old Chinese poem about the fragrance of plum blossoms that permeate the cold.
This is a freehand style painting by Xiao Chun, a friend of Huang Xin-An in Chengdu.
Materials used in this work are watercolor and special black Chinese ink on xuan paper (rice paper). Later I had the painting mounted to a silk wall scroll.
