Oranges on a plate

Navel oranges from a market. I sketched them on the 10th September, 2006. I remember the orange taste and juice refleshed me a lot since It was still humid and hot.

Japanese sweets

onimanju070203

Japanese (Nagoyan) sweets. I don't know how to call them in English. Yellowish ones are named "Oni-manju", a kind of a bun with sweetpotatoes inside, and the white ones are "Daifuku", rice cakes stuffed with sweetened red bean filling. The plate is the one I bought in Kenya. Do they go well together? Sketched them on the 3rd of February, 2007 - the Setsubun day, the end of winter.

This cat is made of soapstone (talc?) from Kisii district, Kenya. Sometimes the stone is called Kisiistone. I don't remember when, but I bought this cat maybe three or four years ago in Kisumu. I painted this back in Japan on the 11th August, 2006.
