Cherry Blossoms on the Night Wind

For some reason I am drawn to pictures of the night. Years ago, my mother lived in a retirement community that had blossoming trees along the main walkway from the dining hall to her apartment. The pink blossoms would cascade down and carpet the walkway and the blowing petals simply enchanted me. The opportunity to make this commissioned piece for Janome was the perfect time to celebrate the cherry blossoms for which Japan, where Janome is based, is known.
