Another in the artist series of chrysanthemum with a harmonious blend of nature and artistic expression. The chrysanthemum flower is depicted in detail and precision with its numerous layered petals shimmering in delicate shades of pale pink, sherbet, and pale yellow contrasted with the textured blue backdrop. This contrast accentuates the intricacies of the petals and creates a tranquil, yet vibrant atmosphere. The song "Shine" by Joni Mitchell inspired this chrysanthemum with the hopeful message to shine even in the face of diversity as well as the Japanese aesthetic of Nihonga art.
