Spring Flower Fall
Contemporary Sumi-e by Casey
These tiny pink flowers grow abundantly on the hillsides in Carmel in the Spring and cascade in the wind like pink waterfalls.
Rice PaperThis image was created using sumi (ink) and watercolor painted on Shuen Paper (Xuan Paper). What is Shuen Paper you might ask? It is Chinese rice paper. Rice paper is the brush painter's canvas. Mastering the way ink behaves on the different rice papers is one of the essential skills of the brush painter.
There are basically two kinds of rice paper -- raw paper and sized paper. Shuen Paper (Xuan Paper) is raw paper and the most popular paper in China among brush painters and calligraphers. It is the most sensitive of the rice papers, cheerfully displaying dynamic strokes and complex shade variations with translucent fluidity and original spontaneity.
Scroll MountingTraditional scroll mounting is not for the faint of heart, let me tell you! It is a very difficult process and tricky to accomplish without ruining your original sumi work.
Spring Flower Fall was professionally mounted by Chinese Artistic Creations located in Tustin, CA. This is a two color mount. The image is 9 x 12 and the finished scroll is 12 x 36 with beige and gold brocade boarders, and includes black wood at the bottom in the traditional mounting style. This piece is a true blending of 'East meets West' in elegant style.
I am pleased to offer this scroll with my original sumi-e for purchase. Please email me with any questions regarding this stunning work of art at:
