As the summer winds down I have tried to slow down and not complete a painting in one sitting.  I don't know why but when i start I just want to keep going until I complete at least a pass at what I was trying to create.   Any way  here are the last of the August attempts.

I wanted to post an effort in honor of Betty Ogawa, a Wife, Mother, Grandmother and a Great supporter of needed causes in the Bay Area (including one that I am donating these pictures to)
Pennsula Volunteers (Little House and Meals on Wheels)   Her kindness and devoted support in time and financial ways was remarkable.   She passed away to soon and will be missed by all.

I have tried to give my interpretation of a famous Japanese artist in her memory.
