Lotus Chinese Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Birds Peony

Here is a Chinese lotus scroll painting for the wall: a silk hanging scroll depicting birds, peony, a rock, and bamboo. Seasoned buyers of Buddhist lotus wall decor will recognize the practiced hand at once. The painter trusted the brush to do the talking, and it does.

Every element carries its own quiet message: bamboo, the emblem of the upright gentleman; peonies, the flower of wealth and honor. It is classical brushwork that carries the detail, while soft natural tones carry the light. Unlike paper, silk forgives nothing — and this brushwork needed no forgiveness. Birds, done in classical brushwork, is the passage collectors will return to. In the soft natural tones, birds finds exactly the mood it needs. Around birds, peony, and a rock, the soft natural tones settle into a calm, unified field.

A tea-drinking corner gains its finishing touch with a painting like this on the wall. A personal gift that says more than its size suggests.
