Two weeks ago I did a live painting. The live painting accompanied an oude performance by Mr. Tokomi. It was the Sunday program to close my exhibition. It was my first time to hear an oude. He learned in Tunisia, and plays it fine.
I had been thinking what to paint. It seemed that dragons were the sub theme of the exhibition, so I decided to paint some on this mountain overlooking Maibashi. To point of view of the Lantern was a mountain view of Gunma. It was inspired by a visit to the museum last January. The big city of Maibashi looked so small and far away from up in the mountain on that showy eve.
I started high up in the mountains. A dragon far away.
then some swirls. And all the time Mr. Tokomi was playing along on his oude.
soon we had another dragon and another.And then it was done.
Thanks to all. It was a lot of fun having an exhibition and get to do a live painting up in the mountains of Gunma. Nice space, nice people. A lot of fun.
