Chinese Beauty Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Tower Tree

The tower tree theme unfolds in this beauty scroll painting with a painter's patience. The picture's rhythm is slow and deliberate, in the manner of the old schools. Among pieces of asian wall decor, this is the quiet kind: balanced, calm, and easy to live with.

Drawn with economical strokes, the scholar keeps the scene grounded and honest. Still lake water holds the composition's center, calm as held breath. The tower settles naturally into the scene, balanced against the larger forms. Layer upon layer of mountains builds the picture's depth. The artist lets the tree speak plainly, without ornament or excess. The overall impression is one of poise, hard to achieve and harder to fake.

As timeless asian wall art, it asks for nothing more than a good wall and soft light. It holds its own in a gallery wall and shines brightest with space around it. Give it time; the best pictures are slow company.
