Cherry Blossom

Original Artwork by Lynn Peterson.

Lynn Peterson is a world-renowned miniature artist who works in gouache & oils to create gorgeous works of true art for us.  Each pen, depending on medium & subject, takes upwards of 8-12 hours to paint by hand.  Lynn starts with nothing but a plain metal pen, fine paints & brushes, & her 30+ years of miniature painting experience to produce these works. 

1 of 1 Limited Original

Though Lynn works on larger numbered series of pens, being a true artist at heart, she loves to create rare & impressive 1 of 1 original works as seen here.  Lynn tells us these original masterpieces are where she "can spread her wings" & let her creative hand paint freely.

Materials

For this 'Cherry Blossom' masterpiece, Lynn found inspiration in the beautiful Washington, DC Cherry Blossom Festival.  The wooden body of the pen is Kwanzan Cherry wood, keeping in kind with many of the Cherry trees gifted by Japan in 1912.  The blossoms are hand-painted onto the wooden barrel, then sealed in a protective clear coat, preserving the artwork for generations.

This pen is delivered in our gift box with ink & a certificate.  As always, our pens are created, start-to-finish, in America.
