What kind of painting are you creating on the canvas of life?
In these challenging times, I hope for a future bathed in serene radiance, as I continue to paint my humble pictures.
“Etude Tableau” is inspired by Rachmaninoff’s piano composition, a Études-tableaux, Op. 39 The Japanese title for “Etude-Tableau” is 音の絵 (Oto no e), meaning “painting of sound”.
It is my hope that this blog will serve as a platform to capture those subtle hints hiding within everyday moments and weave them into meaningful narratives.
