A gasshou roof house from Shirakawa-go that was relocated to Kawasaki, and then re-relocated to Nihon Minka-en, a gorgeous open air museum of traditional Japanese houses from around the country. It’s a stellar museum, beautifully landscaped. December 2024 #urbansketchers #urbansketching #usktokyo

The sweet Daphne is blooming and smells divine!

Had an amazing zoom with some amazing people tonight, and I am refreshed and ready to protect joy with defiance.

I did not sketch or paint for six whole days while I was skiing, but if I had, it would have been mostly snow on snow.

Looking for our car after the blizzard required full ski gear — but we found it!

Snow on trees at Madarao Kogen, Japan

This is the third time I’ve sketched Zojoji Temple with Tokyo Tower in the background. The multicolored banners and decorations were for New Years celebrations, and the family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate (of the book/movie “Shogun” fame) is the detail. #usktokyo #urbansketching #urbansketchers

Finally adding some color to my December sketch of the ginkgo trees from the window of the Toyota dealer. They put my snow tires on my car before I had a chance to finish drawing the bus or to add any color to the gorgeous trees. #usktokyo #urbansketching #urbansketchers

Stopped for a coffee, and had peace while I painted it, and then doubled my monthly donation to the ACLU, which tasted even better.

Art is a good place to breathe.
