I have never been to Japan, though I tried to turn the tide of hatred a bit when at school. The film Bridge on the River Kwai came out and we had strong demonstrations of hatred, so I started a penfriend group at school, but only with German, Italian and Japanese kids. One nasty piece of work made comments about foreigners like me:- I told her, they are more like you than I could ever be. I intended the kids to learn that they are also just kids like themselves. Anyway, I have never been to Japan, but I did teach in China and there they have plum blossom festivals, rather like this!

    I never been there before but have lived and worked with every race and nationality you have just mentioned..you maybe live around ancient ground there.. however truly I live in a largest melting pot of the world. We aren't perfect but at least we as a society try to respect life. That cannot be said elsewhere in the world as you well know.. wink..thanks for the great review.

It appears that this picture was a big hit! It is a departure from the norm for you. I really like this one too. The bright colors mix well together. Great attention to detail like the way the mountain is reflected in the water.

What a wonderful gift for your
Granddaughter, this is such a beautiful image, I like the lady in the red outfit against the cool
Blues of the mountains and water. The cherry blossoms gently floating in the breeze add
Movement to the scene.
Such a lovely calm and relaxing
Scene. Love it. Jo

Gorgeous. Definitely captures the feel of 'Japan'. The scattering of the cherry blossoms is beautiful over the whole pic, but the tree, is simply divine! 'cartoon', yet captures the delicate. :) nice work MKFlood.

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

First congratulations Dude!
I am pleased to see this won the contest.
Out of all your work this is my Favorite. The details and realism of the cherry blossoms are amazing. I like the blues and the rich red of her outfit and umbrella.
An amazing gift from you to your Granddaughter.
Outstanding work Mark!
Bravo ;)

This might be your very best work on FAR. Looks like it's won all the available award! The composition is brilliant---and so are the colors. How long did it take to create the pink blossoms? Your granddaughter is surely thrilled. What a lovely and personal gift for her.
