Chinese Landscape Artwork Close Up View

A close up view from this painting.

This painting depicts small group of homes on an island in the midst of a southern Chinese river. The title, written in Chinese on this painting can be translated as "Home". The rest of the characters are the year painted (Autumn 2006), and the artist's signature.


About the artist...

This painting is by ??? (Zhang Jun-Guo) from near Jinan in the Shandong Province of China.


About the Painting itself...

The artist used watercolors on xuan paper (known incorrectly as rice paper in the west). The painting was then taken, in raw form, to our workshop in Beijing where it was mounted with a silk border. This border can be used during the framing process in lieu of western-style matting.

Gary's random little facts about China:

Where's my fortune cookie?
So after traveling to China, you have just finished your first meal in a real Chinese restaurant.
But the bill comes, and the waiter forgot to bring everyone their fortune cookies!
Well, actually not...
You see, fortune cookies did not come from China (at least not directly).
One legend has it in the late 1800s or early 1900s, a Chinese man running a noodle making shop in San Francisco accidentally mixed a bunch of sugar in his dough, and didn't want to waste it. So he made cookies and stuck papers with people's fortunes on them as a novelty.
In the end, it's really the Chinese visitors to America that are confused when the waiter brings them a blob of sugary noodle dough with a piece of paper stuck in it.
