I've come to know an artist in Japan named Juriko Kosaka whose work I really admire. She makes many sketches of scenes or people from her daily life using a sketch app on her iPhone. She also paints in acrylics using a sparse but warm style. I'm always amazed by her work because no matter what she paints, the simple essence of her subject really comes through.

In Onsen, I can feel the heat and steam of the hot spring, while Aromaticus gives a feeling of cool mint or herbs on a hot day. Neko captures Hana the cat's personality and soft fur.
She recently participated in an art show based on Karuta. Karuta is a children's word game that involves thinking of a word that starts with a certain syllable or letter. The next person has to think of a word that starts with the last letter of the player before him.
I am looking forward to seeing more artwork from Ms. Juriko. Here's her interpretation of "dusty" to enjoy.

Thank you, Kimi:)
I'm enjoying to see many works on people(like you)'s site.
They motivate me to paint works.
You're welcome, Juriko! It's the same for me - I'm always inspired when I get to know other artists and see what they share. I hope one day to go to Japan and see your paintings in person. :)
I agree, Kimi! I've been enjoying Juriko's work through twitter for awhile now.
Very nice post.
Thank you for your nice comment, Dana. It's nice to meet a fellow Juriko fan here! :) Thanks for visiting my blog.
