Description After sketching out a more realistic version of Matt I decided I should complete the set and include Kate in the image. And while she didn't come out right (as usual), I love the picture overall. The background is a combination of several cherry blossom references which worked well to give that warm feel I was looking for.

I imagine they are recounting all the memories they had shared over the years after a long absence from each other's lives.

aren't cherry bosoms suposed to symbolize memories and new love or is it old love? if so good combination.

Skeetersaid In reply to mizueyes777 [2011-09-01 18:14:15 +0000 UTC]

hmm I'm not sure... but that would fit in perfectly! I know that cherry blossom viewing can have some romantic undertones if it's with the right person, so that's why I went with it.

gotcha. i remeber when i was in a class for japanese and japanese culture that my teacher was telling me stuff about that. it symbolizes some type of love but i don't remember which. guess i should look it up again.

Well if you figure out let me know. I'm curious now.

mizueyes777 In reply to Skeetersaid [2011-09-01 18:35:37 +0000 UTC]

okay here it is.
Flower viewing was a phenomenon that the Japanese adopted from China during the Heiran Period. Poets, singers, aristocrats and members of ordinary households would come together to gather around cherry blossom trees and appreciate their beauty. Over the years the cherry blossom tree became a highly revered species in Japan.

Whereas the cherry blossom tree represented the female form in China it took on a much deeper meaning in Japanese culture. The Japanese observed the life cycle of the cherry blossom tree and drew a similitude between the nature of the blossoming tree with human life in general.

The cherry blossom tree is known for its short yet brilliant blooming season which ends with an inevitable fall to the ground. For the Japanese masses this drama staged by the natural process of the tree was reminiscent of the natural way of human life where rise and fall are the main elements in limited time.

Along with being a metaphoric representation of life in general the cherry blossom tree is believed to have deep connections with Buddhism. According to the dharma the tree was associated with the concept of β€˜mono no aware’ ever since the 18th century.

so i guess in a way it does symbolize the begining and end of love as well but has more meanings ti it as well. so you piece works perfectly with it.
