From stone's the embrace

Traditional Chinese gongbi painting (diligent brush) is filled with auspicious symbols.
Snake - wisdom and longevity,
Stone - durability and support,
Bamboo is one of the four "noble plants", a symbol of inflexibility,
Sparrows - family ties.
Such paintings are given as wishes and look good in an oriental-style interior.
The work was written as a gift to my mother for the anniversary.
Ink, Chinese mineral paints, rice paper
