These works are the result of this experience. Pnina strove to capture her wonder at the deep sense of Japanese aesthetics in these mixed media paintings. The richness of colour and design in the luscious kimonos, the beauty of the red-orange beams of the Buddhist temples, the evocative sadness of the origami thousand cranes, the sparse beauty of the sand gardens \u2014 all of these combined into feelings of visual richness and delight, expressed in the works hanging on these walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1592\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1592\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1592\" src=\"http:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-heat-th.jpg\" alt=\"Heat\" width=\"150\" height=\"205\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heat, mixed media on paper, 30&#215;22 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1591\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1591\" style=\"width: 293px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pninagranirer.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-golden-rain.jpg\" alt=\"Golden Rain\" width=\"293\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-golden-rain.jpg 293w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-golden-rain-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Golden Rain, mixed media on paper, 30&#8243;x22&#8243;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pninagranirer.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72-350x230.jpg 350w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sandgarden.1991.72.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Sandgarden, mixed media on paper, 30&#215;40 in.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1589\" style=\"width: 318px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pninagranirer.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-waterfall.jpg\" alt=\"Waterfall\" width=\"318\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-waterfall.jpg 318w, https:\/\/pninagranirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kyoto-suite-waterfall-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waterfall, mixed media on paper, 22&#215;15 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alhambra Series Alhambra in Granada, Spain, is the restored jewel of beautiful Moorish architecture and exquisite gardens.
