Cranes and Gardenias - 21 x 41 framed

My take on chinoiserie is completely my own. I use a traditional Chinese painting technique that's usually used with watercolor that uses the shape of the brush to create dramatic strokes (think: Chinese calligraphy). But I pair that method with acrylic paint for bolder, more modern results.  I also love pairing birds and flowers! They are two subjects with lots of movement.  This painting is 20 x 40 inches, and includes the gold float frame, making the total dimensions about 21 x 41 inches. I recommend pairing with Bluebirds and Peonies.
