My adult students havr been painting horses for the new year.
It is my class's custom or tradition to paint of Japanese Zodiac for good luck charm.
2014 is the year of the horse.

One of my student completed these jpaintings on December 29th.
She was the last student completed this project. She was very happy about her paintings.
I was happy for her.
I hope those paintings bring her happiness.

December, Merry Christmas!

Kids classes for 2013 ended last Sunday.
They made Christmas cards for Santa.
We talked about Santa. Some girls believe Santas live in a little village in Finland.

I wanted them to design new color clothings for their Santa.
I showed them my painting of Green Santa, but they liked Red Santa.
One girl said I knew Coca cola company designed santa's clothing red.

My idea of Green Santa won't give just gifts for children.
He is a very ecological Santa, work for our planet to Go Green.




December, The Art of Peanuts

There is the big exhibition of Snoopy, EVER AND NEVER: THE ART OF PEANUTES from Charles M. Schulz Museum at Mori art museum, 52nd floor in Tokyo. 
Although it was weekday afternoon,  lots of people in the exhibition are looking at drawings and reading the comics. 
 
When I got out from the museum it was already dark.
The big electrical Christmas tree changing its colors beautifully, but digital camera doesn't
get colors.

The moon, a big red rose and a little tree with Christmas lights.
I forgot about I was in the big city.
