Tsuru no Hana — Flower of the Crane

I love the Japanese arts and culture. Here, I present a cultural symbol of long life, (the red headed dancing crane) painted in traditional style, and a beautiful flower. Red symbolises life force, energy and strength. The delicate poppy petals symbolise living with cheerfulness and a fun loving spirit. 

Mixed media, gold leaf, oil paint and Japanese watercolours on beechwood.

UNFRAMED  Edge is painted a deep cherry colour.
