For 9 days the Buffalo History Museum's Japanese Garden is now glowing with cherry blossoms and the 2nd festival to celebrate friendship between the two nations.
Last year I painted this from a similar location but it was raining and the buds had not emerged on the trees yet. This was a spectacular Spring day, but cool next to the still cold water. Stepping back 10-15 feet was quite a bit warmer. I plan to return next week to paint the trees with leaves, perhaps a close up of cherry blossoms is on my list, too! Hoping for no breezes across the still cool Mirror Lake.
