And we continued studying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153composition\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at the university. So I have good confidence of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153composition\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>I took painting class of Bill Martin at the college of Red wood. I respect Bill Martin as a great art instructor and a painter.<\/p>\n<p>After the class I showed my painting, which I painted at my studio, to Bill Martin. He said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s me. This composition wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work for me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Then I told myself, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Japanese composition wouldn&#8217;t work in this country.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I took the painting to the Galley and it was sold right away. So I thought that somebody likes the composition. It was two decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>Now I found this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Composition\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Arthur Wesley Dow. His composition based on Japanese composition. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m very curious to read this book.<\/p>\n<p>Back to my painting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pine in Love\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>Pine tree is symbol of Perpetuate Youth and Longevity in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>And I saw the shape of heart from the earth of this scene.<\/p>\n<p>So I named \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pine in Love\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Carol who purchased the painting e-mailed me:<\/p>\n<p>Hi Mariko,<\/p>\n<p>It arrived! \u00c2\u00a0What a wonderful painting. \u00c2\u00a0I will treasure it. \u00c2\u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>Carol<\/p>\n<p>It made my day.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Carol<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This location is Jug Handle Beach again.
