Behind-the-Art: Cherry in Bloom
The Feeling of Spring
Thursday, June 1, 2023
Introducing... Cherry in Bloom, Erin Hanson's second-largest canvas (to date). This new epic measures 80 x 100 inches (6.5 x 8.3 feet) and stands over a foot taller than the artist herself.
Flowering tree blossoms historically hold a special place amongst the art greats. These blossoms have transfixed artists ranging from van Gogh to Damien Hirst for hundreds of years. Inspired by fruit tree blooms in Oreong's wine country, Erin has become enamored with cherry blossoms as well.
This piece is inspired by a local Oregon scene Hanson spotted not too far from her wine country estate. Cherry blossoms typically last for about a week, and then as quickly as they graced us, their petals fall like snow, and the wait starts for their next bloom.
Let's take a look at the evolution of this newest painting...

About Erin
ERIN HANSON is the creator of Open Impressionism, a new painting style taught in art schools worldwide. Hanson is one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. With millions of followers, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of impressionism, inspiring thousands of other artists to pick up the brush and join her in the Open Impressionism movement.
Hanson began painting in oils at 8 years old. As a teenager, she apprenticed at a mural studio where she worked on 40-foot-long paintings while selling art commissions on the side. After being told it was too hard to make a living as an artist, she got her degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Afterward, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she climbed, she returned to her love of painting and began creating one new painting every week.
Twenty years later, Hanson now resides in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, surrounded by beautiful wine country. She gathers inspiration for her paintings from the natural landscape around her, photo safaris abroad, and backpacking through National Parks. She seeks the beautiful colors of the golden hour and captures these colors on her canvases. Her painting studio and art gallery is 18,000 square feet (the length of a football field), and is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday.
