he expresses the truth of it"

frog jumps into
the sound of water"

A bachelors life
"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.

Cold on the cheek
Warm in the heart
This work was done last winter as part of a project "Winter Enlightenment". The book "Winter Enlightenment" features the watercolors and writings of 22 artists who participated in my watercolor classes in 2009.
My work is tied very much to nature so I have structured the presentation into seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2009. To view works done before 2009 please select the archive link below. You can navigate through the images with your arrow keys and a brief description is included with each work. Feel free to contact me with any questions concerning art work or technique.

Exhibition: "Tanabata "
The Star Festival
Show dates: July 10th – August 6th
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 10th 7-9pm
An event featuring an evening of new music, poetry and artwork inspired by the theme of “Tanabata”. This ancient Japanese legend is the story of two stars which are personified by a weaver princess and a shepherd. Their love is so consuming that they forget their responsibilities and the king of heaven must force them apart. The kind grants them one evening a year when they may meet and be together. The evening is a night of celebration and passion, but when morning comes, the two begin their journey apart.
Opening Reception: June 12 7 pm ,
Kaji Aso Studio Boston
