After J and I enjoyed breakfast we took walk around LA downtown. I wanted to see an old restaurant called “Clifton’s Cafe”. It closed for a renovation about three years go. It had been LA downtown’s landmark for 80 years. I had a good memory of the restaurant when I came to USA for the first time.

 The place is still fenced around front area but signs and windows are new. Also wall has new paint. It took a long time but It’s hopeful to see a little progress.

Today is Sunday. I staid bed late. I usually get up 5am. But, I got up 6am this morning instead. I have only one thing to do this morning. J and I go to breakfast at a Japanese restaurant in LA downtown.

I took two of my artworks to Summer Art Fest. at  gallery in San Gabriel. I participate this show every year. I hope some thing good happen this year.

Health

It's still cold out side early in the morning. But I have to go morning walk. Without it my day won't start.

Rain

We had a good rain last night.
We needed water so, It was good timing but it's not enough yet,
We need more water.

The last day of Watercolor exhibition at community center.
I sold a couple of original paintings.
that made me feel good.
Also, I enjoyed talking to people, too.

I have been reading English book out loud.
At least an hour every morning.
This is my way of learning a conversational English.
As result of that I can speak better than before.
At least I think so.

The exhibition was over at 3pm in the afternoon.
I had a plenty of time to clean up my booth and came home.

Since summertime started I have adjusting a morning schedule. I don't know why we have this system anyway.

Friend of mine from Long Beach and Los Angeles came to my town. Three of us went to the restaurant I recently found.A little cozy Japanese restaurant.

White rose

 

 Step by step, how to paint watercolor. 

But this one I don't have much thing to say. 

I painted this first step with in 5minutes. 

So, I  didn't have time to take a photograph how it look like in between steps. 

One thing I can tell you is let leave paper white part of white rose .

The final step, add nice contrast here and there.
As you can see hear is a finishing painting.
Watercolor painting is such a easy thing to paint.

J and I went to breakfast on last Sunday. The restaurant serves the breakfast combination of Japanese and American style breakfast such as miso-soup, eggs, rice and ham. But we love it.
