Original Chinese Ink Gourd Painting “Fortune and Blessings”, Hand Painted Symbolic Wall Art on Rice Paper, 13 x 17 Inches

This is an original Chinese ink painting featuring a symbolic gourd vine, hand painted on traditional rice paper.

The vertical composition presents a golden yellow gourd hanging naturally from flowing vines, surrounded by expressive ink-wash leaves in layered gray and black tones. The contrast between the warm color of the gourd and the deep ink foliage creates visual focus while maintaining a minimalist and balanced structure. The brushwork is fluid yet controlled, conveying both vitality and elegance.

The inscription reads “福禄,” which translates to “Fortune and Prosperity.” In Chinese culture, the word for gourd (葫芦) sounds similar to “福禄,” creating a traditional visual pun symbolizing blessings, good fortune, and abundance. Because of this cultural association, gourds are often regarded as auspicious symbols representing happiness, success, and well-being.

The painting includes the artist’s handwritten inscription, signature, and red seal stamp. In Chinese ink painting, the seal functions as a personal signature and emphasizes the originality and handcrafted nature of the artwork.
