Spiritual Snake, Original Brush Art

This piece is a rather unique piece in my collection, as it features a spiritual snake. Snakes are one of the earliest totems in the oriental culture, and they are also called the small dragon. This piece features a green Bamboo Pit Viper, and all around it peach blossoms are blooming. The snake in this piece is a spiritual one, as indicated in the poem below, which talks about the abilities of this powerful, magical creature with supernatural abilities.

Gongbi brush painting (or sumie) is a refined and meticulous style that has enjoyed high reputation for thousands of years. These paintings require more than 40 hours to paint.
