Asian Botanical Paintings

I have a love for Asian botanical paintings.  I’ve been seeking them out for a long time.  I have many in my collection and love each and every one of them.

The first Asian botanical painting that I bought was Vietnamese.  It was one of a series of twelve paintings that I bought that were created by Vu Viet Hung.  I have them all over my home.

These oil landscapes by Vu Viet Hung are stunning.  These Asian botanical paintings really set a serene tone in my home.  The subtleties of the colors and the simple themes go so well on my walls.

I found a lovely Asian botanical painting quite by chance at a yard sale.  I don’t usually make a habit of looking for paintings at yard sales, but this one was displayed out front and enticed me to stop.  At first glance, I thought I was looking at a painting of a palm tree.  At closer inspection, I found that the painting was of a bonsai tree.

My office has a more contemporary feel than the rest of my house.  I have found that I like to have an abstract Asian botanical painting to ponder while I am thinking.  I searched for a long time to find just the right piece to hang there.  I finally found a piece by an artist named Soniei called Enlightenment.

Soniei has a collection called the New Zen Sho Collection.  I love his work.  The abstract that I bought is considered an Asian botanical painting because it features bamboo.  In addition to the bamboo, there is beautiful calligraphy.

I have my eye on another Asian botanical painting by Soniei that has shades of sea-foam green.  It is much more subdued than the one I bought called Enlightenment.  This one is called Self-awareness and it is just lovely.  It is another painting of bamboo.

My mother-in-law admires the Asian botanical paintings that I find.  I found one that I really liked at a gallery in Hartford while I was on vacation.  It did not fit with my home and so I bought it for her.  She has really enjoyed it.  It features two flowering trees in acrylic on two panels.  The painting really is stunning with all of the shades of red.  It looks great in her house.
