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.

Akiko, my heart goes out to you and your family and all of the people of Japan. The films on the evening news always brings me to tears and to put up more prayers that the devastation does not get worse.
Your beautiful cat portrait with those compassionate eyes is the perfect tribute to Japan. You always paint so much character into your work. Love that cool background too!

This cat is superb !
Akiko...beautifully rendered cat.
So glad to hear that your family is safe; however, my heart weeps for all those injured, displaced and killed by those disasters. I pray God brings comfort to their hearts.
As soon as the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, I thought about you Akiko and hoped and prayed that all your loved ones would be fine. It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch!!! The Japanese are very stoic and brave under such difficult conditions. How I do love this gorgeous painting you have done as well. Perfect as always!!! :)
Je suis heureuse pour vous et votre famille et tellement triste pour l'ensemble des japonnais... Mon coeur pleure pour le Japon.
Cette dernière oeuvre est vraiment sublime... C'est un très beau portrait.
