Burning flowers

Wei's flowers are anything but "soft ladies". Often in shades of golden yellow, red and purple, they are in full bloom with a tough posture. Like Wei's birds, the flowers also have an air of force. Vigorous lotuses are often illustrated with their stamens and seed pods.

Unlike Vincent van Gogh's strong yellow sunflowers blooming with passion, Wei's golden flowers are strong and bold, with each petal in full shape. The petals were drawn with a thick brush, leaving no traces of softness, only force.
