Some new pieces that I’ve done in the past few months.

My latest piece that I finished about a week ago. It was oil at first, but
after letting it dry, I threw on some acrylic, gesso and whatever else I could
find laying around.

After making the sign for a recent exhibition, I decided to take a shot at turning my sketches into paintings. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but just haven’t gotten around to doing it. I’m excited about doing a lot more work in this medium.

この頃の展覧会のために作った看板の影響で、スケッチブックにある白黒のデッサンを色付きの絵に描くことを決めた。ずっと前からこれがしたかったけど、いつも後からにしていた。このような描き方でまたたくさんの絵を描くことを楽しみにしています！

We’d like to thank everyone who came out to the show last week. We had a great turnout, and the gallery space was amazing. We’d like to give a special thanks to everyone at Yamasaki Bunkadou art supplies and frame shop for their outstanding work with helping put up the show. Here are some pics from the show.

先週、展示会に来てくれての皆さんに大変感謝しております。たくさんの来客が見に来てくれたし、ギャラリースペースは素晴らしかった。後、作品の展示と会場の準備は山崎文化堂のスタッフの皆さんにも大いに感謝しています。展示会の写真をアップしますので、どうぞご覧ください！

world of creation and destruction that is constantly occurring
within and around us.
