A Hundred Poems - Cherry Blossoms

I grew up hearing 100 Poems by 100 Poets recited by my grandmother. This was a card game played at New Year's in Japan.

This is a painting of a branch of Cherry Blossoms in a round vase - felt it had a touch of Japan to it so I named it "A Hundred Poems"

14 x 14 inches , Oil on stretched canvas.

Himawari - (Sunflower Painting)

Another way to say "sunflowers" in a language that I know well - Japanese. I was born in Japan and spent most of my childhood there.

This is a palette knife painting - 22 x 28" inches on stretched canvas.
