The Timeless Elegance of a Cherry Tree The ancient cherry tree stands strong, its gnarled bark a testament to years of growth and resilience. Against this rugged texture, the pastel pink blossoms erupt in a striking contrast, capturing the fleeting beauty of spring. This piece was inspired by a tree at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a place I’ve visited for over 30 years, and it celebrates both the strength and fragility of nature.
A Play of Ink and Color This artwork combines sumi ink with gouache, using the ink’s bold, flowing strokes to emphasize the bark’s raw texture, while the soft gouache brings the blossoms to life. The contrast between the heavy, grounded trunk and the airy, delicate flowers evokes the energy of spring in full bloom.
A Bold Celebration of Nature The original measures 12" x 16" and is signed. Perfect for nature lovers and those drawn to dramatic contrasts, this piece is a striking addition to any space, offering both depth and vibrancy.
