Secret Pond

When I went to a breakfast gathering in Little Tokyo, I made a stupid mistake. I forgot to turn off the headlight of a rent-a-car. It was a small car, Toyota Yaris. I rented this because I was told that it is the most economical car they have. However, I had to operate everything by manually. I didn't mind that, actually, I liked it. Three hours later, I came back to the car and found that the battery was totally flat. Even though, I had a little trouble, I was an optimistic about the incident. It was nothing to worry about, wait thirty minutes or an hour and the battery will be bring back to life. Therefor, I waited and waited. Thirty minutes passed, an hour, two hours, but still the battery was flat. Finally, I gave up and called auto club. Later. I found that the battery was old, It was almost time to change to new one. May be that the reason the battery didn't recover by just waiting.

Hokkaido Snow scene

I took two latest works of mine to San Gabriel Art Association Show. This time I spent too much time for the first painting, therefor, I didn't have enough time to paint second one. But I painted it anyway, I did it within three hours, It was the fastest record of my painting time for that size.

Our watercolor class is like a social club. Students are nice Japanese ladies. I didn't make it that way. When I took over from a former instructor ( She was lady), it was already all ladies class. We have hot tea and cookies. Oh, yes we have a mail student and he is only American. What's interesting watercolor class we have.
