Hanami – Inspired by Japan Prt 3

Hanami

Aquarelle water colour paint and acrylic ink on water colour paper. This piece is loosely based on a traditional Kimono design that featured peonies and butterflies. I used the colours as a jumping off point, though kept the palette simpler. Available in my Society6 Shop as a print, iphone cover, tote bag and more.

WIP II

Comes in many forms and from many places. One of my artistic inspirations comes from a source that I have returned to many times and in fact has inspired me since I was a little girl, and that is the art and design of both Japan and China.
