Beautiful Feeling

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

The Chinese title is 情趣 (Qing Yun) which can be translated as, "Beautiful Feeling". Some will translate this as a feeling of "fun". 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".

I looked up 情趣 in the dictionary and found there are a few more possible translations. These include: inclinations and interests; delight; fun; interest; appeal; mood; sentiment; artistic effect.

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.
