Inscription reads joy of Spring, written by Pan Yan
Brown sparrows upon purple wisteria
Riding the warmth of the coming of spring life returns to the natural world bringing welcome sustenance to tender green shoots of leaves and delicate fresh purple flowers that sprout and shoot forth from the beautiful wisteria.
Animals emerging into the newly fertile landscape seek sustenance to help replenish the rigours endured through winter solstices migrating from lands far away, or emerging from long slumbers beneath the cool earth.
In this traditional technique large free hand painting a pair of brown feathered sparrows perches upon a friendly branch welcoming the return of warmth and life to their land joined with in chorus by the sweet green leaves and shy purple blossom newly emerged.
Seen to be as if commentating with each other the joy of returning spring the sparrows are drawn in delicate poise with our artist capturing their tender movement in few but careful stroke of brush.
This scene of natural beauty is drawn in a vertical fashion where the traditional paper of slightly yellow tint warms the black pigment of the ink that has been used to draw the wisteria, capturing the way in which it grows twisting and curving back upon itself so naturally.
