" Irises In The Ricefield ”
1992

Watercolor, Oil Pastels
On
Watercolor Paper

9 X 14”
23 X 35.5 cm

This is one of the first en plein air paintings I did here in Japan,
in early June of ’92.
I liked it so much, I’ve never showed it publicly,
or considered selling it- it’s in my private collection.

I still remember
the wonder I felt seeing
these blooms the first time

I brought all my paints
and sat along the ricefield
and got acquainted...

Seasonally I’d
re-visit, and then I move'd...
Now they are no more

" Freesia ”
1996

Black Ink, Watercolor, Oil Pastels

Watercolor Paper

12 X 16”
31 X 40 cm

I thought of this painting, while considering Mother’s Day.

I created it in March of 1996,
using a gorgeous Boku glass vase...
I’ve always liked freesia, not only for its enchanting scent,
but the shape of the blooms, and leaves.

Today my son will visit.

Happy Mother’s Day!
