Yu Feian Plum Blossom Chinese Painting Print – Blue Magpie Bird

Yu Feian's blue magpie is the garden's surprise: the bird's long-tailed, blue-flashed form rendered in detailed gongbi color, plum blossom and bamboo framing the scene. The blue magpie is the common magpie's glamorous cousin — longer-tailed, blue-flashed, the garden's exotic — and this portrait gives it the star treatment: the bird of good news in its finest plumage. It is the common magpie's glamorous cousin, and the painting knows it, showing off shamelessly.

The blue is the spectacle: iridescent tones on the wings and tail, built through layered color — the blue shifting with the light, the tail's extraordinary length drawn feather by feather. The plum blossom provides the winter perfume; the bamboo its green architecture, the scholar's plant framing the exotic. Every feather gets the decorator's attention, the gongbi's patience at full stretch.

Glamorous birds suit living rooms, studies, anywhere color is celebrated — a flash of the exotic. The print comes as the unmounted huaxin core only, with no frame or mounting, ready for framing to your taste. A flashing, beautiful piece.
