Kevin’s Painting Blog

My first blog post, wow. I really should have been doing this on a more regular basis, oh well. The first four years in Japan have been rather hectic. For starters, I had to transition my main means of making a living from the USA to here. There have been things, people, and issues that have been somewhat of a distraction. A good friend died, as did my father-in-law. This summer I took up surfing again, something I hadn’t done since my early 30’s and got addicted.  I have also spent the last year getting my body back into shape and have no regrets about that! I started taking aikido. What can I say, when it comes to painting I go in cycles. At least I always come back to it.  Now that I’m “back”, it’s time to get productive! I usually pump out a bunch of stuff when I’m in the cycle so hopefully I’ll have some things to post here.

Tonight, however, will be a night of drinking absinthe and then heading to the shrine with my friends to welcome in the new year.
