Recently I visited Kyoto, Japan and took many reference shots. This young lady is a Geisha in training. These girls are called Meiko iuntil they finish their training. This Meiko is enjoying the view of the new cherry blossoms from a bridge over a deep river gorge.    This Japanese painting has been created using professional grade acrylics on archival quaity 118 lb canvas paper and has been given a coat of artists varnish to protect the paintings surface.    The size of this piece is 20X16 inches or 50X40 centimeters.
