Painting Name: "SAKURA" completed in colored pencil from a photograph Michiyo took while in Fukuoka, Japan -- scroll down for a closer look at this amazingly lifelike picture.
ARTIST STATEMENT: I call this art "Wabi and Sabi". These are words to appreciate Japanese aesthetic sensibilities which represents the beauty that lies within simplicity and imperfection. I like cherry blossoms because they are so delicate and although the pale pink petals fall off quickly, I love their fleeting beauty.
INSPIRATION: Inner feelings, the natural environment, people, and photographs
