The Washington DC area comes alive every Spring with the celebration of the blossoming cherry trees that reside along the DC tidal basin. It’s become a pilgrimage journey for me every year to witness their splendor and remember how beauty is constantly present all around us.

The blossom color ranges from a pure bright white to a vivid pink depending on the variety. I chose the composition to include the iconic image of the Jefferson Memorial, a favorite location for locals and sight seers alike. With all of the turmoil and ugliness surrounding the Washington DC area in the past year, I felt compelled to paint an image that reminds us of the extraordinary beauty still alive and thriving in the nation’s capitol.
