Yesterday was my Etegami group session.
This was our last session before our exhibition at the
International Salon annual party/get together at
Fuchu Lumiere, on Sat., Nov. 15th.
Every year I attend, and partipate in some capacity...
This year I will focus mainly on my Etegami/ Japanese Calligraphy exhibition,
with big thanks to my helpful group-mates, and our group leader, Hamada-sensei.
Since this is the last piece to be displayed for 2014,
I've created this personal statement
about my experience with the drug Prednisone.
For the past 3 and a half months,
I have been on high doses of it; although now I'm on a very slow taper-off...
Everyone close to me, has been supportive,
and yet, I have found the experience best described
with the kanji characters for "Kodoku"...
Painting sometimes says what words can't...
Till Next Time...
