Michigan Porcelain Artists Spring Painting Retreat in 2013
Hiya!
Long time no see! How have you been?
I returned to Japan a couple of days ago, and have been busy for settling up our new house! I still have a little bit jet lag, but I’m really fine!!! I still can’t believe that I had been in the U.S. and Mexico for one and a half months, but it’s very true. I had a great time there and write about my trip step by step in my blog.
First of all, I want to write about Gay’s school, Michigan Porcelain Artists Spring Painting Retreat. I left Japan a week after I moved to a new town. At the time I was completely exhausted , and couldn’t think anything in a positive way. When I arrived in Michigan, I was very blue how I should manage these feelings. However, I really didn’t need to worry about the negative feelings. When I met my painting friends, they changed my mood quickly. I think I really needed it and wanted it. I think that’s the meaning of this time’s trip for me.
At the school, I took a portrait class from my favorite teacher, San Do. I painted a Victorian lady with him. I love taking his class because he is funny. His class is always fun, and all students couldn’t stop laughing as usual too.

Painting portraits is always fun. After I finish settling up our new house, I really want to start practicing portraits again! Thank you so much for teaching me, San Do! See you in October!!

Hi, Linda.
How is your mom? I’m sorry I haven’t emailed you for a while. I hope she is getting better. Have you painted with San? If not, you should learn from him! He is one of the best! Thanks for the comment!!!

Mom is feeling a little better. Her blood pressure may be down a bit. She is looking forward to my sister being home next Thurs for a few days. She gets down when there is not much going on.
All she has had lately is Dr. appointments. No fun!!
I have not painted with San but I watched him demo long time ago in Florida Convention. He is a good painter. Your are welcome for the comment. How is your house coming along?
Bet you love it, don’t you?

Thanks for letting know about your mom. I’m keeping on praying for her! Please say hello to your mom and sister from Japan! My house is getting better. I want to finish settling up this weekend and start painting again! Painting with San is always fun and I really love it! I hope we can go to his painting studio one day together! After I settle up while my house, I will take some pictures and show them to you!
