'Wedding Dance' is the working title of my current painting, named after a fabulous bottle of reisling from Amity Vineyards in Oregon. www.amityvineyards.com
The focus of the painting is the elaborate headdress she is wearing, called a tsuno-kakushi literally translated as a "horn cover". Traditionally it is worn by the bride during the wedding ceremony to "hide her horns" (jealousy, anger, disobedience, etc...) and symbolizes her commitment to be a good wife.
I had a few choice opinions on the matter so of course I had to give her horns. Just as I was about to give her two I decided a unicorn horn would be most appropriate.
There will be cherries in time.
