Watercolor illustration inspired by the dance of the falling cherry blossoms

Documetation of the blooming and falling of the cherry blossoms (2018)

Since I moved to Japan, I've been fascinated by the blooming and also the falling of the cherry blossoms. I've been outside lookinag at it, painting, and feeling like I'm sitting in the first row, and the blossoms are dancing their georgeous ballet for me. Every blossom have her unique dance, her own story.

This is how the story of the cherry blossom ballerina born.

I mashed up a digital painting and photo of real petals to make an iPhone Case. Ireally love to use real pressed petals to my watercolor paintings:)
