'Tis the season to paint cherry blossoms! They'll be gone in a few days, so now is the time -- chilly weather or not. To make the pinkish-white blossoms pop, I chose a tree with dark foliage behind it.
I started this late afternoon, and my hands got cold before I could finish. I had hoped to add a tourist or two for scale, and maybe some more foreground detail. But I'm still pretty happy with this little painting.
