Sakura Song (2025)Oil painting by Angie Wright

In Sakura Song, the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms takes center stage. Inspired by the fleeting magic of springtime hanami and the tradition of admiring blossoms as they drift and dance in the breeze. This piece captures that ephemeral moment in thick, sculptural strokes of impasto oil paint, layering texture upon texture to create a sense of depth and movement. Using sweeping brushwork and paint applied direct from the tube, each petal is shaped with energy and spontaneity, as if caught mid-air in a swirling gust of wind. Soft blush tones blend into creamy whites and hints of gold, reflecting the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the blossoms. The process itself mirrors nature’s rhythm; paint is dripped, thrown, and sculpted, echoing the organic flow of falling petals. The result is a vivid, immersive scene that invites the viewer to step into a dreamlike dance of color, texture, and motion, where time slows, and the beauty of spring lingers just a little longer.
