A Butterfly Chinese scroll painting, this piece pairs classical brushwork with a subject that never gets old. Painters never tired of the butterfly, and looking at this scroll, neither will you. The composition balances its subject with white orchid, moon and blue tones, so the scroll never feels empty or busy.
As a butterfly silk wall art, it sits comfortably alongside much older pieces without feeling like a copy. In Chinese painting, butterflies speak of joy, love and a light heart. Expect clean whites and soft blues throughout; the restraint is deliberate, and it works. Stand back and the whole holds together; step close and white orchid rewards the visit. One cord, one nail: the scroll hangs flat and true, in the time-honored fashion.
A thoughtful housewarming choice for anyone with a soft spot for Chinese brush art. A butterfly silk wall art like this brings a settled, scholarly feeling to any room.
