Japanese Lanterns, watercolor, ink, quick sketch.
I just had to sketch/ paint some as I was cutting to dry.

A bunch of Japanese flower plants tied together at the top hanging upside down on old rough kitchen wall boards. The drying green stems and leaves have beautiful orange pumpkin shaped seed pods every few inches. The pods are paper-like with deep red berries inside. Some of the pods have aged more than the others and what is left of the pods are the veins of the flower pods, which look like ghostly cages with the bright red berries in them. The Japanese like to offer these at their Summer Obon festival to honor their deceased ancestors. They represent life within death- the red berries inside the ghostly dead outer shell, which is quite beautiful; the veins of the plant remaining look like lace.

Japanese Lanterns
Picked a nice bunch to dry for Autumn decorations; one of my favorite old-fashioned garden plants.

Why Japanese Lanterns Are More Than Just Beautiful Decorations Japanese lanterns, or chōchin and tōrō, have been enchanting people for centuries. But why are these glowing symbols more than just beautiful decorations? Their charm lies not only in their aesthet…

Why do Japanese lanterns mean more than just light? 🏮✨
From temples to festivals, they tell stories of tradition and spirit.

We strolled through the local temple on the way back from a restaurant.

Got a chance to visit our state Capitol over the weekend, and it was for reasons other than to protest! 🤣 We wanted to catch all the Cherry trees in full blossom before the wind and storms took them away.

One of my all time favorite paintings. The Japanese lanterns are so beautifully rendered. The soft light reflected in the faces of the children and against the paper in the other lanterns gives the painting such a lovely warm glow. The white of the lilies & the pink of the roses are in stark contrast to the red carnations & the deep green grass & shrubbery behind the girls as evening begins.
