I had a watercolor class this afternoon. But We had very heavy rain and I received mail from student. Not only one, mail kept coming. I received total of seven mails. Some student asked me if we have a class today. What going on, this is only rain. 

Finally, I recovered from cold. 

I feel wonderful and more energy. 

I started painting watercolor yesterday. 

And before I finish it I started new one. 

6:30am It was still dark outside. Usually it getting lighter by now. I could't wait any longer. I decided to go for morning walk. I wore sneakers and opened the front door.
Then I saw it's raining. No wonder it was dark like this. I canceled the morning walk. I will do it later when weather get better.

I enjoyed breakfast with J at the restaurant in Japan town. 

Then I went to Mituwa market in Torrance and I got two packages of sushi for the dinner. I was sick during new year's eve and new year's day. I didn't want to do anything.  But now I recover from the cold and my energy back. So, I am going to have spacial new years' dinner tonight.

It was coldest morning yet.
 I go out for a morning walk just before sunrise usually
but I waited until sun comes out this morning.
I expected that sun light warm up the ear little bit.

I started growing mustache during the Japan trip. 

I tried to paint same subject in totally different way sometimes. This is one of those painting. I painted same subject you can see down below. This kind of an experimental painting  give me a new idea. What more, it added to some new feeling to my artwork.

Three of my Japanese friends and I went to a seafood buffet restaurant. When I  was young I loved this type of restaurant. I thought It's like a dream that I can eat as much as I can. But now I am not young and I don't eat that much anymore. So, I haven't been all you can eat place for long time. One of my friends called me and said let's try new place. So, we did. four seniors got together and pig ourselves.

We had hot weekend. It was thunder and rain on Saturday.  It was very hot day and rain in the evening on Sunday. I think it strange weather.

J sent me a birthday card from Las Vegas. He is my old friend's friend. My friend died 1989. But his friend have been sent me card every national holiday and my birthday.

Paint small size of watercolor is not so easy. It's totally different way to paint.
