Rendered on fine silk, peacock magnolia makes a striking wall scroll. Hazy peacock gives the piece its immediate charm. Distant peacock places it firmly among the finer chinese bird painting scroll. A piece that guests remember long after the visit. The scroll format lets the eye rest between details.
Fine-line gongbi sets the tone here, balanced between detail and open space. Two details: sprays of magnolia, and white flower in bloom. A hanging scroll like this needs only a nail and a good wall. Few decorations earn their wall space so gracefully. Hang it where you will pass it often; it earns the attention.
Add this peacock magnolia scroll to a growing collection of silk scroll wall hanging. Place it beside your other chinese silk scroll; delicate magnolia rewards the comparison. Pair it with a simple plant stand for a composed vignette. A lovely choice for a first piece of Chinese art.
