Wisteria is 紫 籐  zĭ téng (purple vine).  Purple represents divinity and immortality.

I love Xu Gu‘s wisteria and goldfish.

Videos of painting wisteria:

• Chinese chap – very free, I like it!
• Another Chinese chap
• Chinese lady (Cen Wenying)  paints the flowers in the same order as me
• Another Chinese lady
• Yolanda Yang
• Virginia Lloyd-Davies
• Jane Evans (CBPS Honorary president!)
• Nan Rae (left-hander), interesting free style on sized paper.  I find the leaves a bit stiff.

Note that everyone has a different way of painting wisteria!
