Close up view of the plum blossom artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll
The Chinese title written on this artwork romanizes as "Méihuā huānxǐ màntiān xuě" and is a short poem about plum blossom bringing joy in the snowy winter. Also written on the painting is 庚寅年 which is an indication of the year painted (2010) and 建秋 which is the artist's signature.
This is a simple painting style, but it also incorporates a lot of detail. This painting really mimics the style of Chinese artwork that has been around for thousands of years.
This artwork is completely hand-painted and is mounted to a handmade silk wall scroll in our workshop.
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.
