On silk, boats houses come to life in this traditional wall scroll. Right away, the waterfall sets the tone for the whole scroll. Anyone browsing ink wash landscape scroll should pause at hazy waterfall. A calm focal point for any room that needs one.
The painter adds distant houses and boats nearby for good measure. Do not overlook delicate trees. It hangs flat and true, the silk tensioned in the traditional manner. It brings a sense of calm that photographs cannot quite capture. You could hang this in any decade and it would look right.
It is a natural fit for anyone drawn to chinese silk scroll, and boats houses are the draw. It rounds out a grouping of oriental home decor nicely, with softly rendered houses as a highlight. It also works well in an office or reading nook. Hang it low enough to enjoy the details up close.
