Description
The young lady stands peacefully between two beautiful Sakura trees while looking down at the floor, covered with fallen petals, painting the ground a mesmerising pink colour. I sought to begin this painting after being inspired by a photo of my Japanese cousin before her wedding. I wanted to capture her feeling of contentment through the expression on her face with a gentle smile. In the “A Bride to Be”, I emphasised the level of details in the intricately hand-sewn flowers and cranes on the traditional kimono. The flowers around her all blossom and flourish, symbolising a birth of love.
