Sakura Painting

This work was painted after a month in Kyoto at the time of the birth of Spring. It is meditative, calm and peaceful. The large size hopefully allows to get lost in its atmosphere of a subtle breeze creating a slow dance among the long falling branches of a weeping Japanese cherry tree. The pigments used allow the work to change thus become alive depending on the angle of view. Metalic and iridescent pigments bring a stronger shine when seen slightly from the side. This work has sides included, no need for a frame but possible of course.
