I like to give the models a sketch m, because who wouldn’t want more than money to take home when you’re on a roomful of artists using you as inspiration. I also realized that I need to be more careful of where the holes are with this postcard-sized paper. #figuredrawing #oilpastel #art

Currently at Gallery Keifu til Sunday. Note the gallery is closed in the morning. Unlike our larger show, these smaller pieces of art are for sale & surprisingly affordable, considering the talent and lengthy careers. Much thanks to Gallery Keifu for their support! 💗 #ArtistsinJapan #有意識無意識

Had to deal with yet another person getting handsy with my sketchbook and materials in the figure drawing group today. It’s not the first time and probably won’t be the last. 😞 Some people seem to think I use some special or expensive materials to draw with. #art

Doing something more than a bit different for me. More Canadian. It might have started out as wisteria but those three beasties were calling out to me as was the landscape of my childhood in Northern Manitoba #art #coloredpencil #elbowsup

Today is the last day of the show at 105magallery! This means that we’re open from 1:00 to 4:00 today, so I have time to take down the artwork. Remember the gallery is on a side street beside a gym and near the hot dog stand. 😉 All #art is of course available for purchase so you can love it at home

“Waiting for Ophelia” is not a large drawing. If you look closely, you can see black circles. It started as a drawing for a show with a theme of looking through the door during the pandemic, & I had the idea of an enlarged screen door.

Not all successes are financial ones.
- Two days in a row groups of teenage boys have voluntarily entered the gallery, enjoyed my artwork, & interacted with the artist.
- Teenage girls have also strolled in after being attracted to the colours.

SOLD! Purple and Green Moss has found a new home! I am very thankful that a new collector enjoys this drawing but I am also sad to see it leave. It honestly is one of my favourites
コレクターさんが気に入ったはいいことですが、別の家に大好きな作品が行くからちょっと悲しいですね。 感謝です。 #art

The Meditation on Green Vegetation I and II drawings have been getting a lot of love this week. (The bottom drawing is actually upside down because I like how these 2 go together) People say it gives off a spring vibe & makes them happy 💗 Maybe I will try putting the lower one right side up #art

Someone I didn’t know and who has never been to @105magallery before walked in off the street and started earnestly looking at the drawings. A few minutes later she had a huge smile on her face. Talk about an instinctive reaction and a great compliment! #現代アート #contemporaryart #drawings

Memories of Wisteria 1, watercolour. Currently on display at 105magallery in Kitakyushu, where the Kawachi Gardens are blooming.
Lots of fun to paint. Played with new materials + hadn’t planned on having it in this show, but I thought others would enjoy them. #art

At @105magallery today until 17:00. This small drawing is around A4 and of course, difficult to photograph. It is an abstracted wisteria, playing with colours you would see at the Kawachi gardens here in Kitakyushu #coloredpencil #contemporaryart #現代アート #北九州画廊 #色鉛筆

I don’t usually do sweet pieces but I was playing around with new techniques & created these. These wisteria-inspired watercolours were fun to make. these three might be in my solo show next month at 105MaGALLERY
普通可愛い作品を作らないけど、新しい道具を使いたかった。藤を考えて水彩で書きました。スペースがあれば来月の個展に出すつもりですね。

Spring is in the air.
First dandelion on the roadside,
Dog splooting like a squirrel, enjoying the sunshine and being reluctant to continue the walk.
Another dog enjoying the breeze blowing through its long hair as it cranes its neck to see the sights from its backpack on the motorcycle.

The Biwa (loquat) trees are blooming. They’re not flashy in appearance or heady in scent, but the birds and I love them. I honestly didn’t notice them for years. The scent? Warm and honeylike but seemingly in the background #びわ花 #springflowers #loquatflowers
