Empty Kimono
Oil on Canvas Panel 30"x12"
PEP $250 Unframed
PEP $350 Framed in simple Gold Frame
Like all of us, I felt deep heartbreak at the tragedy of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. This is a tribute to all who lost their lives, their loved ones, and treasured possessions.

I treasure this blue silk kimono purchased many years ago as I do the memory of my few hours in Japan. All I saw and experienced was beautiful and enriching. Each time I look at this wonderfully crafted item of clothing, I remember the joy of memories of that time.

"...Beginning...", a book of verses from Genesis 1


Years ago I began a small sketchbook of images made with watercolor on Pen & Ink, of favorite verses from the Old Testament. I have selected at least one verse from each of the books of the Old Testament. Some books like Genesis, Isaiah, Psalms and Proverbs have many more. I have made it through Genesis and Exodus... with several more pages blocked out and verses selected. I liked the finished pages from Genesis Chapter One well enough to copy them and make a small book. This week I bound the book! Here are some of the verses and my interpretation in paintings. The words are from Genesis, Chapter One, verses 1 (above), 3, 6, 9, and 11.




This is the second, and last set from my little book, "...Beginning...". They are visual interpretations from Genesis, chapter 1, from verses 14, 20, 24, and 26, and Genesis 2:9.
