Hanami

why am I painting cherry blossoms?




without really thinking of why...I just felt like it...but after reading about the cultural meaning surrounding cherry blossoms in Japan and China....

it makes sense.


In China...cherry blossoms symbolize feminine sexuality and power...and in Japan they represent the fragility and beauty of life.  Such a powerful symbol that encompasses beauty, strength, as well as fragility...

life is precious.   enjoy it.  marvel at it.  appreciate it.  embrace it for all the crazy stuff it throws your way.






and here is progress...






I'm also thinking about trying to add rain...I feel like it needs another element to it.


and also...

I saved another dragonfly today.  :)  Look at that amazing pattern on his abdomen.  wow.




peace....love...beauty...
