The lily is called 百合 in Chinese, which is pronounced as bǎi hé, which has the symbolic meaning of "happy union for one hundred years”. The lily is the flower of love in China, therefor Chinese lilies are great presents for women on their wedding day.

Behind the Window is a brush painting in traditional Chinese free style technique (shan shui) with ink on rice paper.
It's a look out of the window on a rainy day in the Yellow Mountain China.

I have visited the Yellow Mountain in November and it was foggy, rainy and mystery. Therefore I painted the mountains in rain.

Bamboo has been an important and meaningful subject for painting during many periods in Chinese history.
The Chinese often compare bamboo to gentleman for its unique character of being neither cringing nor arrogant. Furthermore, bamboo painting is symbolic of self-effacing, integrity and safety.

Banana leaves are a common ingredient in Chinese painting. Often used as a background together with birds or other animals.

The leaves are painted with quick strokes and sweeping out of the hand. It requires a special technique to fill the brush with the right amount of ink.

This is the third painting of my crayfish series.

Crayfish sounds like the word laugh in mandarin, so it symbolizes happiness and joy. Sometimes its auspiciousness also represents good fortune and long life.

This is the second painting of persimons. In FengShui there there must always be a pair, that fit together. For your home you have to hang two similar paintings.

Sparrows have long been a favourite choice to paint with willow or bamboo, probably right back to the Song dynasty when the bird-and-flower genre was invented. They are indeed a cheerful little bird, one that twitters and hops around a lot.

The ultimate challenge for the Bonsai designer is to expose the essence of the tree. The challenge for me was to transfer this onto paper.
