Cherry Blossoms with Brown Rice, Oil Painting
Oil on canvas
38 W x 45.8 H x 1.8 D cm
(15” x 18” x 0.7”)
This oil painting was painted as my homage to Japan. That spring the cherry blossoms were more beautiful than ever. I bought some branches at my local flower show and arranged them with a bowl of brown rice and pickled ume (plum). I also included two shisas, Okinawan guardian lions. I set up all these objects in my studio and painted from life. There are so many beautiful aspects of living in Japan, and I feel I was able to convey my gratitude to this country and its people.
I hope that the person who buys this painting will feel joy, calm and a sense of wonder radiating from this piece.
Painted with oil paints on primed canvas and varnished with a professional gloss varnish with UV protection.
