I have already said several times this year that Conrico is on fire, and with this piece he continues to confirm my assertion. I believe that this gorgeous landscape piece was painted as part of a collaboration paint jam to celebrate Kid Crayon’s birthday.
There is a calmness about this view, and a sense of early spring created by the presence of meadow flowers and tree blossom, most likely reflecting a Japanese landscape, with a small hut or temple in the foreground. The brush-stroke quality of the piece which has a little bit of Monet about it. Superb work from Conrico.

Alongside the outstanding Stivs piece on this hoarding under the M32 (see previous post), is this wonderful Samurai warrior piece by Conrico. The artwork is so full of freedom in the style that Conrico excels at, and conjures up thoughts of spring with all that cherry blossom.

A helmeted figure is presented alongside an old cherry tree (I assume) and an outstretched arm which is tied to a bamboo stick and holding a sword. I’m not too sure what the story of this piece is, but I am sure that there is one. Just another fabulous piece from Conrico, who is on a roll at the moment.

As if snow laden
stark barren branches and twigs
offer spring blossom

Three days dry and mild
a relief for groaning soil
asks are we there yet?

Dry yields to dampness
new vegetation unleashed
