Cherry Blossom Tree

Cherry Blossom Tree celebrates impermanence — blossoms rendered with decisive strokes so each petal feels freshly opened, yet already on the edge of fall. The trunk anchors the piece with steady charcoal lines against a pale spring sky.

This painting meditates on mono no aware: the gentle sadness of things passing. Soft pinks were mixed with warm greys to avoid sweetness without gravity, keeping the mood contemplative rather than decorative.
