Some time back...

...I promised you more photos from my December trip to China, and thought I'd let you see these fabulous paintings from a gallery in Shanghai.  I could hardly stop taking photos for they were so richly detailed, intricate and amazingly opulent.  You'll see details of some of them just below the full picture - stunning!



















The embroidery silk alone is sumptuous beyond imagination...like a kid in a candy shop I couldn't stop looking.


While the quality of some of the photos leaves something to be desired due to their glass casings, I hope you've enjoyed seeing this work as much as did I.  Being somewhat patience-challenged, I was agog at the thought of an artist sitting over works of this magnitude, and in awe of their skill and perseverance.
