"L'Astre et le Sakura" (The Star and the Sakura) is an intimate, yet characterful painting. The colors are soft but dark, and the flowers are light and airy. The whole is subtle. A partial view of a Japanese cherry tree. Its petals are pinkish-white, very delicate. Behind it is a star, just hinted at, made of bluish gray/beige hues. The background is completely plain, in a single shade of dark gray; a "warm" gray. The canvas's chamfers are painted black. Sophie's signature is affixed to the edge of the side. This painting does not require framing, as it is a 3D canvas. Spring, circle, dark gray, tree branch, cherry blossom, Japonism, nature, minimalist art
