Spent the day in Nara. And for the first time in my life I was cuddled, nuzzled, and nipped by bowing deer.

The red gates- scroll to see more. One of those places even more magical in person. Surrounded by a dew dripped forrest and the gates climb all the way to the top. #makeart2023 . . #art #arte #sketch #sketchbook #kyoto #redgates #fushimiinari #shrine #myart #mywork #artwork #oilpainting #painting #fineart #contemporaryart #artjournal #japan

Hachiko the dog. Hachiko is a famous dog from Japan known for his loyalty. He was an Akita breed and became known for waiting for his owner at the Shibuya train station in Tokyo, even after his owner's death. Hachiko's story touched the hearts of many people and symbolizes loyalty and devotion. There is a statue of Hachiko near Shibuya Station as a tribute to his unwavering loyalty. Also swipe for the video- turns out the subway stops running from 12 am-5 am which means you stay out all night. We were up early and were wondering why there were all these people sleeping outside in club cloths. #makeart2023 . . #art #arte #artsy #painting #oilpainting #myart #mywork #artistsoninstagram #artcollector #sketch #sketchbook #fineart #popart #contemporaryart #artjournal

Meow. Hello from Japan for the next couple of weeks and I brought along my sketchbook. And it has been so incredibly busy to sit and paint. We have been walking around 8 miles a day, eating 🐽 everything in our sight and exploring. We were supposed to go to Japan before Covid and the world changed and lucky enough to be here 3 years later. Have you ever been to Japan? #makeart2023 . . #art #arte #artsy #painting #oilpainting #myart #mywork #hellokitty #artistsoninstagram #sketch #sketchbook #artoftheday #dailyart

Did you know that limes are actually berries? That's right! Botanically speaking, limes belong to the berry family. So the next time you're enjoying a lime, you can think of it as a little green berry bursting with citrusy goodness! #makeart2023 . . #art #arte #artsy #painting #oilpainting #myart #mywork #artistsoninstagram #artcollector #artcurator #sfmomaspotlight #artoftheday #dailyart #citrus #lime #fruitart #fruit
