Nature

This is the rough translation of the artist's title for this painting.

The title written in Chinese characters literally means, "Creek, Mountain, and Smoky Clouds". Together, these characters can be translated simply as "Nature".

If you look closely, a small house sits on a bluff in the foreground. To the right, some white birds fly by. And in the background, a powerful waterfall appears between mountain peaks.

About the Artist

The artist's name is Wang Jian-Qiu. The artist 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).

About this Artwork

Although this will not be cheap to frame when you receive it (because of the large size). I will certainly bring strong character to the room you hang it in.

This is painted on special xuan paper (rice paper) then mounted with white silk matting/border.

Please note: This painting includes a silk border similar to the what is shown above, but not a frame.
I recommend professional framing and matting for the best presentation of this work.
