As you might all know, Japan was hit by a huge earthquake, followed by large Tsunami, resulting in a nuclear disaster. I have been following the news through live TV broadcasts from Japan and newspapers available through the Internet.

I am so fortunate that all my family is fine in Japan. One of my cousins live in Morioka, one of the areas hit hard by the earthquake and tsunami. According to him, he has not been able to contact 400 to 500 people who work with him. They are missing and most likely dead. My heart goes out to the people in Japan. I hope they will get through this as quickly as possible.

Since early February, I have been very busy with my work. No time to paint or even go out to take pictures. The above commission portrait of a sphynx cat was done right before I got busy. Hopefully, I will be able to go back to painting sometime in May.
