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. Three hydrangea blooms — lilac, lavender, turquoise — on a milky white background, as if the flower deliberately shows the whole palette it is capable of. In Japanese tradition, hydrangea (ajisai) is a symbol of sincerity and deep gratitude: it is no coincidence that this flower continues to bloom, changing shades, despite the whims of the weather.
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.
