Kismet Arts Tangent

I read a book called “the god of Small Things” and mentioned that the world is filled with “hope, love, madness and infinite joy” the last one the character said in the saddest tone. I want to say that I misspelled “maddness” on purpose to emphasize a point…

The sushi painting is a textile based idea I am hoping will win a design contest for Uwajimaya’s grocery bags. Initially I was going to paint a landscape with a few geisha, but after reviewing some reference photographs, I became more intrigued by the patterns on the kimonos.

The others have been lying around. I sometimes prepare for company and like it when all the paintings up are complete and of my own creation. That is my ideal when I am arranging an interior space. I was inspired by the Japanese textile book I borrowed from the library.
