September is here...Cherry Blossoms?

Wow, the summer flew by. Tomorrow my little guy starts middle school. I can't believe it. He had a good summer and I am glad for that.


We moved recently and I'm still rearranging things and yesterday I came across an old art toolbox filled with items I long forgot. Surprisingly, a Pentel pen set I used to use had one good pen left. It's a brush pen in blue. I did a few sketches and I really like how they came out. I have to find out if they are still being sold and check online. I have book I bought at a Japanese bookstore in Rockefeller Center many years ago. There are not words, just illustrations of cherry blossoms by a single artist. I love this little book and look at it often. I decided to copy some of the styles from the artist and use the new found pen. I had so much fun.
