With Baby G's birthing day quickly approaching, the element of wood is very much on mind. In Chinese medicine, the element of wood is one of 5 elements and represents, among other things, birth and growth.Baby G has been blessed with a talented papa who did an amazing job of painting a beautiful tree in his/her room.
Greg sketched a tree with pencil and then taped it out, followed by painting the trunk and branches. We then worked together and painted white blossoms all over.
I love spring and cherry blossoms are without a doubt the essence of spring at it's most abundant. I believe no one has captured the beauty of cherry blossom trees better than Akira Kurosawa in his film, Dreams. A must see if you haven't already indulged in it's luscious cinematography.
I completed the piece by filling in the blossoms with silver filaments and orange stamens. The green butterfly was a little addition that I think gave the piece a nice balance.
Now, Baby G will be surrounded with beauty and love whenever he/she is in the room.

How wonderful it looks! I really love the minimalist look and playfulness in the lines. Unexpected too, which is always expectable from you. I love it!
It turned out beautiful!
That tree is just lovely. I smiled when you said you finished off each flower with orange stamens. Classic J!
