Week 8

Hayao Miyazaki, acrylic on board, 8"x 10"

This week's post is dedicated to Miyazaki, the great filmmaker. 

This is a portrait of him as a young man. I imagine this is when he began to dream up his stories, 

I added the character Spirit over his left shoulder.

Royal Typewriter, acrylic on board, 12"x 12"

I put together all the portraits, objects and landscapes in this series so far and was two short in the object category. Then I remembered the typewriters are gone.

 I miss them so painted another. 

An old typewriter for writing deep stories.

Boat, China Camp, acrylic on board, 12"x 9"

A good landscape for a Miyazaki week—a boat drifting offshore.
