miyajima 2

Miyajima (宮島), which in Japanese means "Shrine Island"

After conquering the hike up to the peak of Miyajima mountain, I felt drawn to paint what my eyes captured as I looked back over the Eastern Japanese coastline. Unlike the imaginative piece that had come before my travels, this moment captures the lines of the coastline as I saw it that day standing there, frozen in a moment of time. 

The smokey cauldron I cast my universe prayers into on my ascent shaped the darker colours featured throughout this piece. There is a romantic darkness that weaves its way into your experience of Japan. A marriment of the countries dark history, contrasted by lightness from the kindness of its people.
