Again this year I see Plum trees and cherries, wisteria, colorful Maples. This haiku form, by Matsuo Bashō,(1644-1694), complete and finished whole does not walk not Closed. In these three lines of eight words is contained a thought that returns to me every year - again I see it again I can look and observe the time of transformation. Over the years, the expression strengthens and gives me more and more pleasure. You know Japanese as well as the color combinations I choose for these spring watercolors. Pink blue and green is the color of spring woodcuts.
Flowering time is a moment a week maybe two and through it Plum blossoms then cherry trees colors Maples are colored juicy green and finally we wait for wisteria flowers. The cyclical nature of the seasons is a source of joy and sorrow. It is a landscape in which all emotions can flare up and go out. This image helps us to live and at the same time always reminds us of the passing of time, but gives hope for the next year. For that nature and us from being born again.
