Had to try to take a pic from the side to capture some of the shimmering gold sumi ink, but it’s a fail! 😕 Also my lighting is very poor in my studio, and not to mention I really need to upgrade my phone to take better pics of my artwork.

This is far from done, but wanted to show you how I layer my work. This piece has been overlaid 5 times with sumi ink brush strokes, lines, shapes, and scribbles. Each layered session is allowed to dry before proceeding on. Oh, and there really is no plan or forethought involved.

I left a small space in the lower right hand corner for my Hanko stamp mark and my signature. I’m hoping it ends with an acceptable composition. 🙏🏼✨💜

My friend .ho.739 would probably say this is “LBD” or little bit deep, but it will eventually speak to someone. I’ve used this message before and all have sold. 🙏🏼 I guess some people appreciate deep thoughts. 😁

Continuing to make these smaller size compositions for variety and affordability. 6 1/8” x 8 1/8” outside frame dimensions, custom framed with plexi protection. Currently priced at $75. Message me if interested. Arigato! 🙏🏼✨💜

Keeping busy creating new abstract sumi ink paintings with hand lettered Yoshio quotes. I am once again motivated, inspired, and overjoyed to continue my journey.

Another completed composition which started in a post a week ago. I never know what the end result will be…it just creates itself. 7 1/4 x 8 3/8” outside frame dimensions, custom framed with plexi protection. Currently priced at $120. Message me if interested. Arigato! 🙏🏼✨💜

Completed the first abstract sumi ink painting from the post I did 5 days ago. I did tell you it goes through a layering process and will look very different in the end. Doing smaller size paintings to keep the price down. 6 1/8” x 8 1/8” outside frame dimensions, and currently priced at $75. Message me if you’re interested. Thank you! 🙏🏼✨💜
