幸〜HAPPINESS〜my painted poem gallery
03-26,2013
I have been just re-organizing my archives back to 2000 - that was when I started working on
my freshly discovered Neo-Japonism style paintings in London.
Every single day I was painting - day and night
- experimenting and working on the progress in my tiny messy but cozy atelier room.
This is one of my early Neo-Japonism art works from mountain series.
Whenever I feel
'The grass is always greener on the other side (of the fence)'
I try to remind myself of my own mantra!!
As long as they* are there*- I should be fine, shouldn't I ?!
This was my beautiful honest beginner's mind.

" HAPPINESS 幸一番 "
The Sun
is
always
warm
and
the sky
is
always
blue.
太陽ハ
アタタカク
空ハ
アオイ。

12-30,2011
The year my heart became rounder.
The year I met the infinite future, my daughter Mirai.
The year I was given a strong protection called " Joy ".
The year I deepened my compassion.
The year I learned to gain my patience.
The year I was able to believe in my strength little more.
The year I was loved a lot.
I thank you -
Doumo Arigatou.

Here is four seasons

and from the east to the west,
all times and places.
Thanks for being fine this time again.
