Wintersweet
Wintersweet, scientifically chimonanthus, gets both its names because of its habit of flowering in the winter, hence its flowers are on stark, leafless branches.
Yuping Guo was born in a picturesque town in Sichuan province in 1957.
In an environment enriched with history and artistry, Yuping began his training in calligraphy and painting, receiving instruction starting at the age of six.
Yuping's art shows marks of a variety of influences; facial mask painting used in Chinese opera, the Yi People (a minority group of China) and, somewhat predominantly, the old traditions of Chinese watercolor painting.
