It's been a while since I did my first exhibition on 10th July, 2011, but I could make a time to post my stuff from the exhibit, so here they are. :) It was my first try doing Japanese painting. It was quite challenging to create those colors and textures that I wanted with the Japanese pigments because they are so delicate and sensitive that they can be broken and come off easily unless you mix them with the glue in the right proportion. I love those Japanese pigments made of nature. They are just beautiful. I also loved to use a real gold and silver. They are used quite often in Japanese painting. I created those paintings for victims in the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I sold my postcards of those paintings at the gallery for Japan earthquake & tsunami relief fund raising. Thank you so much for helping me with donating! I do appreciate your help!
