As I was writing today's blog post, I received a call from one of my family members in Japan who was horrified about a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake that had just hit there.  It took me some time before I was able to get in touch with the rest of my family (and they were all ok).  However, as I see more news reports on this biggest tremor in the history of Japan and think how extensive the final damages can be, my heart goes out to those who have been affected.  And I feel I want to do something, however small, to help.

For today's paintings of Paris Café, there's no price.  If you're interested in one or both of these paintings, please email me to bid.  I'd like to send them to someone with the highest offer and donate all proceeds to the Japanese Red Cross Society in aid to the victims of the March 11 earthquake in Japan.  Bidding ends at midnight, March 15.  The highest bidder will be notified by email.  Please click here to see the current highest bid.

Thank you very much in advance for your kind consideration and generosity.

Keiko, I have been thinking of you all day and thought I would come here for an update. I am so happy you were able to reach most of your family. My prayers go out to you, your family and friends in Japan.

Judy, thank you very much for sending me your kind thoughts and prayers. Your support means a lot to me and the people in Japan. Wishing you peace and safety.

I am so glad you were able to contact your family members. This is a horrendous event the people of Japan will be dealing with for a long time. My thoughts are with them - they will rebuild and it's amazing how many of those buildings shook but stood firm. What a wonderful gift to offer your paintings for highest bid going to the Japanese Red Cross :)

I am so very pleased to read your family is ok. My heart and prayers go out to all of the people in Japan. This is a very terrifying time for you all.

Hugs JJ

Keiko,
I clicked on tell you how stunning your painting was on D. Paintworks this morning. Now I am seeing all your work and it is impressive.

Thank you, Rhonda, JJ, Janet, your kind comments and prayers are very much appreciated. I am delighted to have received several generous offers for these paintings, and I plan to do another auction very soon.

I read about the news and feel so sad with the Japanese people, we all respect for their discipline in the tough situation. I got some Japanese friends who also live there and they and their families are fine. Hope everyone in Japan is safe.

Hi Perry, thank you for your visit and thoughtful comment. I'm glad that your Japanese friends are safe, and you must be very relieved. I will join you and continue to keep everyone in Japan in my thoughts.

Very nice painting very encouraging.

The earliest paintings were not representational but ornamental; they consisted of patterns or designs rather than pictures.

It is nearly impossible to not have a painting of a landscape somewhere in your collection should you be a collector of art. Some of the most beautiful art in the world consists of portraits of landscapes.
