Abstract sumi e print “The Blossoms Continue to Fall” by Marilyn Wells

Abstract sumi e painting, Zen style, print with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

“Approaching midnight
On a hillside, in springtime,
In a temple hall,
Even in my deepest dreams,
The blossoms continue to fall.”
- Ki No Tsurayuki - D. CA. 945 - 1885S

What does this little poem tell you? I’d love to hear you thoughts. It gives me pause even as I write this. It feels like the impermanence of all passing things, and also the ever-present infinite consciousness we dwell in. To me it is the mystery that the gap, the pause, creates, that affects me most of all in a wonderful way.

This is a Limited Edition Fine Art Print, numbered and signed, made from archival, museum quality giclée ink on hot press, acid-free 100% cotton rag media with a fine-tooth surface. Each will have an additional 1/4” white border to accommodate most framing needs, or which you can cut off if you wish. It is packaged in a crystal clear envelope with a sturdy back board for shipping and framing protection.

Each print will be hand signed on the back by the artist along with a stamp of authentication.
