This wall scroll is discounted just because it's been sitting on the shelves (completely sealed) for a while. Nothing wrong with it, just time to move the older inventory.

Green Watercolor Plum Blossom Wall Scroll

This is a very traditional and sophisticated scroll with an old Chinese phrase written vertically next to a wonderful plum blossom portrait.

The short phrase speaks of how the plum blossom is not afraid of the cold winter weather.

I should also mention that the plum blossom often represents a hearty and strong woman in Chinese culture, so this poem is also about a woman's ability face difficult circumstances without fear.

The Chinese characters also include the date painted (2006), the artist's signature red stamp.

This is a freehand style painting by Chen Fen-Qing of Nanjing (an ancient capital city of China).

Materials used in this work are watercolor and special black Chinese ink on rice paper. Later I had the painting mounted to a silk wall scroll at our workshop in Beijing.
