Fleeting Blooms by Lucinda Leveille is part of the works with the focus on cherry blossoms. This painting is watercolour on a gallery style canvas, ready to hang.
'Due to the short bloom time, Sakura blossoms are a metaphor for life itself: beautiful yet fleeting." Shannon M Mullen.
'Flowers are fragile and ephemeral .... Even if you meant to protect them with a surrounding fence from wind and rain, they would die without sunlight .... and a spindly fence has no power against a strong wind. " Gosho Aoyma.
The process for these watercolour on canvas pieces is something I have developed myself, beginning with the preparation of the canvas to receive the watercolour; heavy texture is added in this painting with many layers of watercolour, each layer must be 'fixed' before another is added, certainly worth the effort to achieve this wonderful depth of colour. I have finished the painting with oil paint and glazing, finally varnished to deepen the colour.
I would be delighted to work with you to produce an artwork that will work for you and your home, I enjoy commissions and it’s always great to know that this is something uniquely yours. You can now email me directly, straight to my inbox and we can discuss what you would like.
The paintings are signed on the front with my name ‘Lucinda’ and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Be assured I only use artist quality materials for my work.
The piece will arrive cocooned in bubble wrap and packed within a sturdy cardboard container, sometimes recycled ( I do like to recycle when I can!), any glass will be taped to help prevent breakage, I am still losing the war with the tape machine so the package may not be the prettiest on the outside but the contents will arrive safe and sound.
