This silk wall scroll offers a graceful study of traveler pine tree. Distant mountain is what you will remember after one glance. This is chinese mountain painting at its most charming, thanks to softly rendered mountain.
It is a fine example of brush-and-ink work at its most delicate. Among the finer touches are sprays of pine tree and the traveler. In China's symbolic language, the pine tree is an emblem of longevity and steadfastness. Calligraphy along the margin lends a contemplative touch. The silk ground gives the colors a soft, luminous quality. Tones are mellow, the way good scrolls tend to be. Few wall pieces feel this settled from the first day.
If chinese art wall decor is what you collect, this traveler pine tree piece deserves a wall spot. For devotees of chinese brush painting, delicate pine tree offers something to return to. It transitions gracefully from apartment to forever home. A restful sight at the end of a long day.
