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