Elegant Winter Gift
This Sumi-e is called ‘Branches with a Persimmon’. This is one of my most popular images. This painting was created with Sumi (ink) and Japanese watercolor. It was inspired by the beautiful season of winter and the luscious persimmons that grow at this time of year. There is nothing better than a ripe juicy persimmon to eat just as it is or use them to make bread, pudding, and other delicious treats.
Persimmons are wonderful to paint. They have such a lovely shape and are so colorful. They are also delightful to write about. This Sumi-e painting is minimalist painting and my haiku that I wrote about it is minimalist writing. Here is my Haiku:
” juicy ripe, branch of persimmon, gently live.”
