Red Plum Blossom Wall Scroll

This is a very traditional and sophisticated scroll with a title (Fresh) written in Chinese vertically next to a wonderful plum blossom portrait.

The rest of the Chinese characters include the year painted (2007), the artist's signature, and artist's red signature stamp.

This is a freehand style painting by Xiao Chun, a friend of Huang Xin-An in Chengdu.

Materials used in this work are watercolors and special black Chinese ink on xuan paper (rice paper). Later I had the painting mounted to a silk wall scroll.
