Thanks, Chris. Gorgeous works!
I'm the fortunate owner of this wonderful watercolour painting, "Journey
Home IX", by Keiko Tanabe who lives in San Diego, CA. The painting's of
Kyoto, her birthplace:

She's incredibly prolific and many of her Japanese [and other] paintings are
quite stunning.
Best,
Judy
