As winter's grip softens, the first whispers of spring bring promises of warmth and rebirth through the budding leaves.
Deep within the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains lies my home, where, with the bloom of the cherry blossoms, a transformation into a fairyland.
They signify life—a beauty of nature that is short-lived and promises after every destruction, there is always renewal.
These flowering trees serve as yet another clear reminder each year of opening myself up to change, reflection, and eventually embracing the new beginnings that will occur.
The cherry blossoms, so otherworldly in beauty, incited me to take the courage in bringing forth art that would somehow capture the very essence of renewal in spring—a cycle never to be broken in life.
I have noted in this piece the evanescence of nature against the enduring human spirit.
This painting is more than just a reflective look at the world outside but rather one into the very ability to grow and renew in correspondence with the differential seasons.
