Hello, everyone! I loved the comments I received on my acrylic painting of cherry blossoms. Three years ago, I painted cherry blossoms using watercolours. When a friend sent me a photo of cherry blossoms in bloom in Toronto, I was inspired to paint again! 💃🏽
Choosing to work with acrylics was a deliberate decision, as I have always found painting flowers to be a challenge. The forgiving nature of acrylics, which allows for easy correction of mistakes, was a game-changer. As I experimented with the medium, I discovered that I could create depth by manipulating the intensity of the colours during the painting process.
Many of you have asked me why I paint every week. The truth is, your feedback and comments keep me going. The anticipation you express for my Friday paintings and the element of surprise you enjoy- it’s all incredibly motivating. More than that, it’s the knowledge that my art, however simple, can bring a little joy to someone in a distant corner of the world. For that, I am truly, deeply grateful🙏🙏.
