This oil painting has a intensity that neither over exaggerates nor underestimates the true beauty of flowers. Unmistakable Cherry Blossoms emanate the newness of Springtime. The carved, three dimensional feeling of this oil painting recalls the pure form, characteristic of art works from Asian continents. Indeed, Japan has more than two hundred indigenous Cherry Blossoms - known as Sakura.
The deep pink blooms of this painting sit together easily. Not crowded, like still clouds on a warm spring day. Although we cannot seem them move, we have the sensation they are. So realistic is the imagery. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom is a symbol of affection, even love. An omen of good fortune and a metaphor of the nature of life, and how swiftly it passes.
Although each year the Cherry Blooms may fade, Pink Blooms will always remain full of vitality. The perfect way to preserve the beauty of springtime. If in search of a gift, what better choice. As thoughtful as they are pleasing, the pink blooms of the Cherry Blossom tree are a timeless symbol. Here, within the painting, their image also becomes timeless.
