Chinese Plum Blossom

A large wall scroll with an antique look and style

This is done by 何清雲 (He-Qing Yun) of Guilin, China.

The title of this painting roughly translates as "Announcing the Coming Spring". This refers to the fact that the plum blossom blooms in the cold just before spring time arrives.

A very special antique-style handmade paper is used for this artwork. There are fibers, artifacts, and bits of bamboo or cotton husks embedded in the paper. This gives the whole painting a very natural and somewhat antique look - if you like granola, this high-fiber paper is for you! (just don't eat it).
