Lily Pond, Fragrant Lotus Flowers

Close up view of the flower artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll

The Chinese title is actually a poem about the white egret and the bright green seedlings of the lotus. The rest of the characters indicate this was painted in 2011 signed "Jian Qiu" (the artist's given name) at the artist's studio called "Qingfeng studio"

About the Artist:

The artist's name is (Wang Jian-Qiu). He lives in Jinan, the capital city of Shandong Province in Northern China (about 5 hours south of Beijing). I was introduced to this artist's work at Qin Xia's studio in Jinan. This artist has been a long time friend of Qin Xia (You may recognize Qin Xia's name from artwork in our flowers and birds category). Wang Jian-Qiu also does some great detailed beautiful woman paintings, and occasionally does some landscapes for us as well.
