Due to heavy rainstorm January 6th class was canceled. Therefore, the first class of 2016 will be January 13th. 

Same day, we do watercolor demonstration.

Come and enjoy our class.

I had a breakfast with N at the little bakery on Larchmont St. We had coffee and blueberry muffin.

A friend and I went out for a dinner. It's was our favorite restaurant Du-par's. It's located in the famous tourist spot the farmer's market. I tried a chicken potpie for the first time. It  was big. I couldn't finished it. I took half of it home. 

Rain again. It's going to be rain until this coming weekend.
At least that what weather report says. 

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.
