Today's theme is Flower Festivals so I looked up some nice festivals I could draw and saw that there is one in Japan called the Kawazu Sakura festival.
The cherry blossom (Sakura) trees bloom around April, some earlier. When they do, people visit the town of Shizuoka prefecture on the Izu Peninsula. There are about 8,000 Sakura trees there. They line a path where tourists can stroll at their leisure. This leads up to the Kawazu River where you can listen to the soothing sounds of the flowing water. The best time to visit would be early-March, when the peak season begins.
This is a pic of the place:
My drawing is inspired by this lane of cherry blossom trees. I was imagining what it must feel to walk here, among the beautiful flowers, all bundled up nice and warm, with a hot drink.
