Landscape Chinese Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Red Blossom Autumn

This landscape scroll painting takes up the red blossom autumn theme in the language of classical Chinese art. The strokes vary from whisper to declaration, keeping the eye moving. It belongs with the best of ink wash painting, the sort that settles into a room from day one.

From a high cleft the waterfall descends, a ribbon of light in the gloom. Drawn with economical strokes, the red blossom keeps the scene grounded and honest. Autumn colors the scene, warm against the ink's cool restraint. Mountains dominate the scene, massed in overlapping planes that lead the eye upward. Golden accents catch the light, lending the scene a quiet opulence. A small red seal adds warmth to the monochrome scheme. The brush-written text is part of the design, not an afterthought.

As chinese landscape wall art, it asks for nothing more than a good wall and soft light. A piece like this asks little and gives back steadily. Give it time; the best pictures are slow company.
