More Catching Up. . .

I have had a painting in a gallery in Ginza (Tokyo) since early November of last year.

It is an exhibition of glass paintings, this was the first one that I completed using techniques taught to me by Michiyo Ishikawa.  I am unhappy with the way it turned out, mostly because it was my first time doing both reverse glass painting and gold leaf gilding.  I am still learning the techniques, and it is far less forgiving than painting on canvas.

However, Michiyo insisted that I include it in the show.  Though I do not feel that the work is up to my standards, it does feel good to have a piece in a gallery in Japan!
