Exceedingly beautiful flower, butterflies follow closely

Excellent watercolor & ink painting by artist Ming Xiong. It is special brush on rice paper work, very unique

. 

The big calligraphy is the title of the whole picture, and the small words is the year and artist's signature.

"Exceedingly beautiful flower, butterflies follow closely" a poetry sentence. The peony flower is wealth, glory and good fortune, symbolizing people's desire and pursuit of a better life. Two butterflies represent beautiful ,love, freedom, transformation and rebirth.
