Summer Painted Poem Gallery : * AOI *

I love this painting

Soft, intimate and dreamy

Slow, floating and a sweet nostalgia

When I painted it
I was thinking of my Japanese friend called AOI who I came across in London while I was still studying English

She later went back to Japan, and we went to our own ways.
We lost contacts over the years but last year she replayed a mail to my card after a long silence

I enclosed this painting, and wrote that I missed her

Let me see your smiling face again
