(日本語は後に続く)Today I went to the Japan Water Color Painting Association (Nihon Suisaiga Kai) Exhibition at the Nagoya Citizens' Gallery (Nagoya Shimin Gallery) in Sakae which is on until January 17th. There, I was delighted to meet my mother, who was displaying this amazing painting she did of us having coffee at a charming coffee shop called Daphne a year ago. The angles, composition and color scheme impressed me. We briefly removed our maskes for a commemorative photo and quickly put them back on again! There were a number a number of splendid paintings by many artists and I was quite fascinated. Nagoya really has a lot of artistic tallent. Of course, seeing my mother's painting made me feel happy. It was a wonderful painting and a wonderful day. 

今日は1月17日まで開催されている名古屋市民ギャラリー栄での日本水彩画会(名古屋支部)の展覧会へ行ってきました。そこで愉快なことに母に会えて、一年前に一緒にダフネという喫茶店でコーヒーを飲んでいる場面を描いた母の素敵な絵が展示られていました。角度、構造と色彩感覚に感心させられました。一瞬マスクを外して記念写真を撮って又すぐ着用!数々の画家さんたちのかなり良い絵が沢山あり、魅了させられました。名古屋には正に雄才な芸術家が沢山います。もちろん、母の描いた絵を見れて嬉しかった。素晴らしい絵画と素晴らしい一日でした。
