Description
This painting meticulously depicts the delicate beauty of Hibiscus syriacus, commonly known as the rose of Sharon. Known for its rich colors and elegant floral shape, the rose of Sharon is often used to symbolize beauty and auspiciousness. In the painting, the rose of Sharon blooms are tender in hue, with petals revealing a soft pink color and natural ripples at the edges, making them particularly vivid and delicate. The yellow stamens, like pearls nestled among the petals, create a beautiful contrast with the pink. The leaves are dark green and robust, with clearly defined veins, providing a solid backdrop for the flowers. The inscription beside the painting, "最爱人间花好月圆" (Fondly cherishing the earthly beauty of perfect flowers under a full moon), not only reflects the artist's affection for this work but also expresses a longing and appreciation for a good life, symbolized by the phrase "花好月圆" (a perfect blossom under a full moon), representing completeness and harmony.
