Flower Dance Sumie

This is the second in the series of paintings mounted for Dee Teller and her upcoming exhibition. http://deeteller.com/ This work is titled "Flower Dance". The most challenging point in designing this scroll was to find a cloth (Kireji) that would let the work be dominant, but still help accentuate the yellows and the purple in the painting. This lilac colored cloth with a wispy pattern really seemed to do the trick.
 It is completed with an Enshu Shitan Jikusaki (Rosewood, with a lip at the end) and the Fuji color hanging string. Total size of the scroll is a little more than 14 inches wide by 46.3 inches long.
