Landscape Chinese Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Waterfalls People

Across the silk of this landscape scroll painting, the waterfalls people theme plays out in classical tones. The picture's rhythm is slow and deliberate, in the manner of the old schools. Among pieces of timeless asian wall art, this is the quiet kind: balanced, calm, and easy to live with.

The artist lets the deer speak plainly, without ornament or excess. Here the people takes its place in the composition's larger rhythm. Painted with an easy, practiced brush, the birds feels observed rather than invented. Layer upon layer of mountains builds the picture's depth. The coloring is bold without being gaudy, each hue given its proper weight. Here the waterfalls takes its place in the composition's larger rhythm. The painter uses mist as a veil, revealing the mountains in stages.

It keeps good company with the finest serene chinese wall decor, the kind that rewards daily looking. Give it wall space and it will repay the attention many times over. One hook and it is up; the scroll hangs straight from day one.
