Those falling blossoms
all return to the branch
when I watch butterflies
Japanese Haiku
by Moritake (1452-1540)
For those of you who like me, enjoy the snow for Christmas and then wait patiently for Spring to return, I offer a little glimpse of the warmer days to come. Julia's Cherry Blossom, as pictured here, is a tiny 6x12" made-to-order gift for a little sweetie's 12th birthday. Candy pink blossoms and chocolate brown branches, stretch out over the tops of the canvas, adorned with glimmering fuchsia and pearl sequins.
These pieces are popular with parents for birthdays & baby shower gifts especially. Colours can co-ordinate with the child's room and accents reflect the child's interests; butterflies, ballet slippers, ribbons, frogs, fairies, pirates... They range in price starting at $15 and vary in sizes; 6x12" & 12x36" are most frequently requested. Of course, there are more options than simply the child's name as the central focus; perhaps a single word (Baby, Sweet, Prince/Princess..) or small quote from a well-loved poem or song.
Very Happy Birthday wishes go out to Miss Julia in her last year as a tween;)
To all of Sweet Pea's customers, wishing you and your wee ones a very happy, healthy holiday.
Thank you for your continued business and I look forward to the painting challenges ahead!
