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
