Custom Nursery art for Chinese babies
original paintings by sumi-e artist
|
There is a lack of authentic Chinese paintings which are suitable for nurseries of chinese babies on the market. I have been approached by Chinese parents and also those adopting kids from China to create some chinese art suitable for decorating their rooms, which spawns the idea for this page.
Here are some of my paintings which would be perfect for the rooms of Chinese babies or the playroom of chinese kids. You purchase prints of my art or you can also email me at info@oystudio.com or fill in the Custom Request Form if you require paintings or calligraphy which are more custom.

Snake
蛇
(Chinese Ink )
Artist's notes: This is my wild grass calligraphy for the Chinese word "snake" which is the zodiac this year. The character for snake has evolved from it's original pictorial oracle bone script, depicting a snake. In grass calligraphy one can incorporate more self expression, and this is my interpretation and rendition of the character.

Dragon calligraphy
龍書法
(Chinese Ink )
Artist's notes:Happy Year of the Dragon!
This is my "flying white" style calligraphy for the Chinese character, dragon. I find this calligraphy style is perfect in capturing the spirit of the fierce and captivating flying dragon.
Chinese writing dates back to over 5000 years ago. Chinese characters evolved from pictographs to more abstract ideograms to the modern-day character, which bears a slight resemblance to its pictographic origins. The characters are divided into 3 main categories : pictographs , ideograms , phonograms.
Dragon 龍 is a pictograph. The original oracle bone script is a rough drawing of the dragon. It has evolved to the modern day character but you can still vaguely see the head and body on the left side, the back and tail on the right side.
Years of the Dragon are: 1916, 1928. 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024

Happy Dragon
快樂龍
(Chinese Ink )
Artist's notes:Happy Year of the Dragon!
I have painted this for dragon babies born in 2024.
I have seen many dragon paintings and drawings, but most of them look too fierce. So I came up with this happy one : )
At the top right is my Chinese calligraphy for the word "dragon".
2024 is a year of the Wood Dragon, starting from February 10th, 2024 (Chinese New Year) and ending on January 28th, 2025 (Chinese New Year's Eve). The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, and the start of the year is based on the cycles of the moon.
