Story:
From towering cliffs plunging to the Yangtze River, to gentle lotus floating on the serene lake of Hang Zhou, to the sun-drenched beaches of Hainan province, to the lush palm tree lined shored of the Wanquan River to the snow-covered Tibetan peaks, to the swirling sands of the expansive Gobi desert… these are the jewels of the “Middle Kingdom” or China. Once seen, you are forever a captive of its mystical charms. Even the sun seems to burn brighter and the moon clearer. Truly, a magical kingdom whose existence proves there must be a greater power.
Notes on Original Work of Art:
Acrylic paints on heavy hand-made French watercolor paper, veiled over with hand-made Japanese rice lace, bathed in a mixture of melted archival beeswax and UV-resistant polymers, with hand-gilded Sun in the upper right-hand corner, bordered with wood panels covered with Yixing plaster and sculpted with 17th – 18th century Asian fabric stamps and chops, adorned at top right with a mid-1800’s Chinese pagoda charm, accented with a tassel from a late 1800’s Uzbekistan horse trapping, all mounted onto archival museum board.
