I took me a log time to decide to start a blog, partly because of my English. I came to this country (U.S.A) from Japan in 1982, and my English is still not “English.” My friends called my English MarEnglish. Or some nice people say,\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your English is like poetry.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Probably Japanese Language is like poetry.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I really want to communicate with you.\u00c2\u00a0 So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to start…\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153All for the simple purpose of sharing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ~Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to announce that my painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Highwater\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is juried in “Outstanding Visual Artists” of the region, and my other painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lonesome boat at the Tuna Harbor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is juried in First Paint Out Juried Competition.<\/p>\n

I love the painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Highwater\u00e2\u20ac\u009d very much. I collaborated with my son, Ray on this painting. Ray photographed an old barn after a flood, with his cell phone, and e-mailed it to me. The photo inspired me to paint this painting. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very simple and good composition… I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m always amazed by his composition. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at Sunset in winter in Northern California. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s soothing and some kind of feeling touches my heart. Some artist said at the opening party, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This painting needed to be this big.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I was so happy to hear that. This painting is oil on 30\u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 40\u00e2\u20ac\u009d wrapped canvas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
