Every winter I return to Kyoto, Japan, my hometown, to visit my family.  Journey Home I was created after such a trip a few years ago.  It captures a typical early evening scene on a backstreet in this ancient city where people are shopping for groceries at neighborhood stores.  Mundane, the sight evoked a sense of déjà vu in me.  It was the return of distant memory long forgotten of my childhood in Japan and I had to paint it.

This painting received several awards and is included in the recently-published Splash 10: Passionate Brushstrokes (North Light Books), a perennial art book filled with beautiful, inspirational watercolor paintings selected from hundreds of submissions from all over the world.
