The painting is done in the style of Japanese Sumi-e painting. Since silk paint is liquid, I soaked the silk so that the petal strokes would lie in the Japanese painting technique. It was my experiment — to paint not on rice paper but to step beyond the frame. Usually pre-treated silk is used for paintings, but I used what could be found in our art stores. The same hydrangea, but here I deliberately removed color — only shades of gray, rain streaks, and a lone dragonfly above the blooms. Without color, the structure is felt more sharply: how the hydrangea is actually built, not how it looks in the sun. A quiet, meditative thing.
It will make your interior cosy and unique.
The painting is framed, hanging hardware included, ready for display. Colors on screen may differ slightly from the original.
