Tsukushi #01

Japanese Tsukushi plant painting

In this painting I wanted to express the powerful energy of life itself. The design is inspired by the Tsukushi plant.

This is a plant you can often see in Japan during the Spring. This is also an edible plant with high nutritional value. It's a slightly unusual plant in that it can grow almost anywhere, not only in soil but from underneath asphalt. So although it's a small, cute plant, it is extremely powerful.
