Description
Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 – white flowers before a burning sky
Wall art bows a dark trunk out of the lower left corner and opens it in a wide arc across the full width of the canvas — decorative painting where the tree is old and everything it carries is not.
Technique and texture
The ground was painted wet into wet, so the colours pass into one another like spilled pigment. Each branch was carried out in one movement and ends as fine as a hair. The flowers are dabbed with the point of the brush, each one a separate dot, gathered into clusters in places.
The motif
The trunk is bent and twisted, which gives the tree its age even though the flowering is young. The crown is not symmetrical — it runs further to the right and disappears past the edge. Brighter passages in the ground behave like sun standing behind the branches, and gold catches through the five ranks of blossom nearest the light.
Setting and placement
A palette this hot wants length to spend itself along, and it opens fully only where nothing interrupts it. Against a pale neutral ground the red sky burns harder still.

Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 on your wall
Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 is painted in 16 landscape sizes, from 50 x 40 to 240 x 180 cm. The wide arc of the trunk needs a long wall, so take 130 x 100 cm above a 200 cm sofa, 120 x 90 cm over a 180 cm bed, 110 x 82 cm above a 160 cm dining table and 100 x 75 cm along a long hallway. That way the red sky covers about two thirds of the furniture width.
Every white blossom is dabbed separately with the tip of the brush, so this painting is hand-painted and not printed. Select YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its burning sky comes stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to go on the wall. A frame for the cherry tree is your own choice in the Frame menu, where the first option is Without frame. Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 reaches you in 15–45 days.
Questions about Japanese Cherry Blossom 5
Which size of Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 works above a dining table?
Above a 160 cm table we suggest 110 x 82 cm, and above a 180 cm table 120 x 90 cm, so the crown spreads across the greater part of the table.
Does Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 arrive ready to hang?
Yes, when you select YES under Stretcher, the canvas with white blossom and red sky is stretched on a wooden stretcher and can go up straight away.
Can I get Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 larger than 240 x 180 cm?
For a wall that needs more than 240 x 180 cm or a different ratio, write to us about a painting made to order with the flowering cherry.
