Peers of her age may be taking it easy, but Madam An Wenlan, 65, pursued her new found passion - painting - with the zest of a teenager.

The former nurse started to take painting seriously in 2010, after she was rudely prohibited from taking photographs of a peony painting hanging in a restaurant in Hangzhou. She swore that she would one day paint something just as beautiful.

She may be a late bloomer in Chinese painting, but it didn't take long for her to catch up, reported Apple Daily Hong Kong. After a few years of hard work, she made a name for herself with her realistic portrayal of flowers like peony and plum blossom.
