Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving from New York. This is a mixed-media process study from my studio—an image I love for its pearly glazes and shifting textures. The motif was later developed in collaboration with AURUM LOCUS as some goods designs. For original paintings, please browse the Painting archive . For original works or a private viewing in New York, please use the inquiry form on the Contact page.

New Work
A large oil on hardboard (24 × 36 in), Conversation with Bird holds a quiet exchange between a woman and two bright birds across a table. A still moment—poised between attention and speech.

Fun day! Making handmade oil paint
Studio note from today: I mixed my own white oil paint and recorded the feel of the grind—the sheen, the weight, the stickiness. Below are close-ups and a work-in-progress. Today is fun day! I made white oil color (Titanium white + egg + linseed oil) with glass grinder . Use egg for oil colors is very classic recipe ever since Rembrandt. I love work with glass grinder. Oil color with egg makes nice mass thick texture just like picture. 今日は楽しい絵の具練り作業♪ 厚みを出す為のチタン白+全卵+リンシードオイルと

Old work -part3 Nameless work 2003
Step into a labyrinth of arches and whispers from my early period. Old work - part3 Nameless work 16"x20" 2003 Acrylic, tempera and oil on Hardboard. I just had a good laugh because of their faces! Ha ha ha. But I don't blame myself in 2003. If you collect "strange" painting, now is your good chance.😁 Nameless (2003) is a mixed-media painting in acrylic, tempera, and oil on hardboard (16×20 in). 昔の発掘作品パート3。カオが面白過ぎて爆笑。ヘンな絵のコレクターさん、今がチャンスです😁
