Description

Back in November I contacted Chie Yoshii about a piece she was showing in Japan. The piece ended up being more than I was expecting so we decided on doing a commission instead. I had really liked the young woman that was in the other piece so I requested that Chie make another piece featuring her. We decided to add cherry blossoms and a beautiful Japanese bush warbler pattern to the Kimono. After the initial discussion Chie drew up a beautiful sketch and I requested that she simply change the hair to have it flowing over her shoulder like in �Caught in the Rain�. After that small change Chie began working on the painting. When she finished and sent me the photo I was blown away. She is absolutely breathtaking.

I had been wanting one of Chie�s stunning pieces for a while and I couldn�t be happier with �Cherry Blossoms�. It has everything I wanted and is just phenomenal. Everything about the piece is fantastic. The Kimono Girl is so adorable. Just the way I like them. The whole piece has the beautifully serene feeling I love that always comes across in Kimono Girl pieces. The composition with the Cherry Blossoms and branches surrounding her is just perfect. I love the color scheme with the blues and greens predominant with the wonderful touches of pink to contrast. That warbler patten on the Kimono is just so wonderful and I love how she added the lilac flowers in her hair. It was a real pleasure commissioning Chie. She said painting this piece was a wonderful start to her new year. It always makes me so happy when the artist enjoys working on the piece since it always shows in the finished piece. I�m glad I finally commissioned her. Her work is always so outstanding and I�m very proud to have such a breathtaking piece in my Kimono Girl collection.

Thanks, Duke. I loved how her hair was down in the other piece so as soon as I saw it up I asked for that revision. It makes all the difference. With the hair up she reminded me more of a Geisha and for my Kimono Girl pieces I try to steer away from them. I just like to have the Kimono Girls be ordinary ladies.

Thanks. I'm really proud of it. Always love hearing people's reactions. That's half the fun of sharing it.
