Botanical Paintings

My husband isn’t as big a fan of Asian botanical paintings as I am.  They just don’t speak to him.  He has allowed me to hang one painting in his office because he approved of the color scheme.  The Asian botanical painting he chose for me to hang for him was a black and white.

Our daughter loves watercolor Asian botanical paintings on fabric.  She keeps her eye out for advertisements in our local paper for people selling them.  She has already purchased three.  She is well on her way to her own collection.

Bamboo is the most popular subject in Asian botanical paintings.  I have found so many paintings in so many different mediums that all feature bamboo.  I catch myself buying so many paintings that I’ve started giving them as gifts for friends and family for house warming gifts.

My sister recently bought a condo and I gave her an Asian botanical painting of happy birds and bamboo.  She liked the watercolor and asked me to find her two more to hang throughout her home.  I was able to find several more at the same shop that were created by the same artist.

The other Asian botanical paintings were of snow bamboo in moonlight and green bamboo.  I’ll keep checking back at that store for new paintings.  She said that she could probably use one or two more.

I am planning to redecorate my kitchen.  I do not like the French Country décor that the previous owner chose.  I would prefer that my kitchen reflect my personality better.  I will absolutely need an Asian botanical painting hung prominently in my kitchen. 

I have the perfect Asian botanical painting in mind already.  It is a nice Chinese painting that was done on rice paper with ink, water and color.  It is mounted with nice silk border by an expert and is ready to frame.
