Red Cherry Blossom Branch Paper Cut Painting

12/1/2010

 
Materials Used: Acrylic, Japanese rice paper, origami paper, Swarovski crystals on wood.
Original Size: 18"x24"
Price for Original: $275
Description of Red Cherry Blossom Branch Paper Cut Painting
  This is my version of a mixed medium cherry blossom branch painting.  I experimented with paper cuts of cherry blossoms on Japanese rice paper and origami paper.  The blue backdrop and light beige branch was painted with acrylic paints.  I chose a light color branch to make it stand out from the blue background.  Most of the larger cherry blossom flowers have vibrant red cherry blossom or leaf patterns to contrast with the bright blue background.  Each of the red cherry blossoms have a unique cut for the stamen.  I layered smaller paper cherry blossom cuts over the larger flowers.  I also glued sparkly Swarovski yellow crystals to accent the entire painting at the very end.  All the paper cherry blossoms were glued onto the wood frame panel.    

Inspiration for Red Cherry Blossom Branch Paper Cut Painting
   I was inspired to do my own paper cutting version of a cherry blossom painting when I visited Washington D.C. last year in the summer.  I missed the National Cherry Blossom Festival in April but I was still able to see the beautiful cherry blossom artwork of Junko Yamada of Jackson Heights, NY.  She designed the 2010 National Cherry Blossom Festival Artwork.  She combines the modern capitol buildings with traditional Japanese cherry blossom rice paper art.  Her collages are composed of thousands of pieces of fine paper in the tradition of “Harie,” an ancient style of Japanese art.  My favorite is her pink cherry blossom tree in front of the Jefferson monument.  I love the way she uses different textures and shades of rice paper to create shadows on the tree and layers on the cherry blossom flower.  I created my own version of a mixed media cherry blossom painting with a more 2-dimensional vibrant red festive feel.

Back Bay Fens Park

Back Bay Fens Park

Picture
Materials Used: Acrylic on canvas
Original Size: Circular 20" diameter
Price for Original: $300

Description of "Back Bay Fens Park"
This is my impressionistic style cherry blossom painting that is inspired by Boston's Back Bay Fens Park.  It is painted on a 20" circular canvas with a dark turquoise background.  The branches have various shades of brown, deep magenta, and yellow highlights to show three dimensional texture and the sun hitting the tree.  The flowers are yellowish white color and the tree branch is outlined in a burgundy brown, creating an impressionistic cherry blossom painting. 

Inspiration for "Back Bay Fens Park"
Boston, MA has always been my first inspiration for painting cherry blossom trees.  I lived 2 years in Boston during my graduate school years at the Harvard School of Public Health.  In between my never ending reading research articles and paper writing days, I often enjoyed afternoon weekend strolls at the Bay Bay Fens Park to wind down and relax.  Below are pictures of the beautiful white cherry blossom trees I walk past every Spring time at Back Bay Fens Park.  Often times during the spring and summer months, you will find dozens of Canadian geese walking around the Back Bay Fens, students sunbathing or reading a book, and couples holding hands.  This is the park where I remember the first time white cherry blossom petals rained on me from the cherry blossom trees as I was taking a stroll through this park.  One day I hope to visit the Back Bay Fens Park again with my boyfriend during the Spring time holding hands like all couples do at the park. 

Dreamy Clouds

Dreamy Clouds

Materials Used: Acrylic on canvas
Original Size: 16"x20"
Price for Original Painting: $399.99

Description of "Dreamy Clouds"
This is a dreamy cherry blossom painting with puffy pink and white clouds with a pretty purple butterfly.  A pink and lavender cherry blossom tree lies in front.  The colors are very light and cheerful; it's like a clip from a child's imagination or dream.  The cherry blossoms are painted two dimensionally representing Japanese cherry blossoms (sakuras) during the spring.  The style of this painting reminds me of Japanese anime movies and manga.   

Inspiration for "Dreamy Clouds"
The inspiration for my "Dreamy Clouds" painting comes from Caribe Playa located in Patillas, Puerto Rico.  It is a pristine beach in the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico.  The puffy pink clouds are so dreamy in this little cove.  It's an unspoiled beach with tropical breezes and pelicans flying in the sky.  A nice resort to stay right on this beach is the Caribe Playa Beach Resort.  You can lie in their hammocks, swim in their pool and jacuzzi and have great virgin pina coladas and authentic Puerto Rican food.  There is so much humidity in Puerto Rico, that the clouds there are puffy white with shades of pink, purple, orange during the sunset hours depending on the time of the year.  The 2 pictures of the clouds at Patillas are taken about half an hour apart showing how the colors change during the sunset hours.  The cherry blossoms that I paint come in various shapes, colors, designs that don't really exist in nature or don't really exist in certain parts of the world.  That is the artistic beauty of painting, I can superimpose beautiful cherry blossom trees and flowers to any place and time from my imagination or from a place in the world I have traveled to. 

Mothers Day Gift

Mothers Day Gift

Materials Used: Acrylic on Canvas
Original Size: 16"x20"

Description of "Mother's Day Gift"
This is a purple pink sunset cherry blossom painting with various lavender shades of cherry blossoms.  There are 3 large dark lavender cherry blossoms in the middle surrounded by smaller light lavender cherry blossoms.  The background is a blue purplish sky with a pink sunset.  I used very vibrant magenta, purple and yellow colors for this cherry blossom painting.  This painting is painted three dimensionally giving texture to the cherry blossoms and branches.  This would make a great Mother's Day gift or gift for your mother or grandma for her birthday.  It looks best framed with a burgundy red wood on the wall to match the branch color.   

Inspiration for "Mother's Day Gift"
I created this purple pink sunset cherry blossom painting for my boyfriend's mom for Mother's Day.  Purple is her favorite color so I decided to paint lavender cherry blossoms because I think that a painting of flowers will last longer than live cut flowers or plants.  Below are several lavender flowers taken at The Flower Fields (in Carlsbad, CA) or in my neighbor's front yards of purple daisies or flowers that inspired me to paint these lavender cherry blossoms.  I like the dark interior wisps of purple on the flower petals.
