The Old Folks, 8x10, for Japan

These are two of my favorite things that my son sent from Okinawa when he was stationed there. They are so clever, beautifully done, and just plain cute. When I saw Qiang Huang's Japanese doll painting, I knew I needed to paint these and join the Daily Paintworks Challenge to raise money for Japan. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Japanese relief.

Japan

No painting today, just had to comment on Japan's plight. I have noticed that the people there are patiently waiting in line for hours for food and water. Where are those scenes of looting that we are always treated to when a disaster happens in our cities? There aren't any. I wonder why?  Cultural differences? Not as many criminals in the population? I would really love to know. I'm so sorry for the victims there, and it will certainly take Japanese effort and ingenuity to bring the country back from this.
The Daily Painter Originals group is going to do something to raise money for victims, so stay tuned...
