This is a Journal from my trip to Japan in 2019. First we made a short stop on an island in the south. It was supposed to have a Mediterranean climate, but when we arrived it was snowing. And the locals was not used to snow. Then we went to the big island to see the Snow monkeys. And lastly to Hookaido in the north to see the Red-crowned crane and the huge Sea eagle. Said to be the largest eagle in the world.
A bit late I realized there are a lot of faces on this Journal page. :)
To make sure I'll have things to do next year, I bought myself some new art supplies.
This is five different textures. It is not "colors", they gives different textures. The gold was good for flowers I noticed. The grey is sand and pavements. The one in the center might be good for waves.
😍
I found these acrylic colors two days after the paste. The colors goes well together.
I have already plans for the green and the "orange-brown" one.
And finally, New Years party.
Happy New Year everyone.
I don't think there will be many fireworks this year. It has been limited in recent years. At first it scares the pets and even some people too. And they litter because people don't clean up after themselves.

Your trip to Japan has to be high on your list of favorites. Love the beautiful eagle and Red Crowned Cranes (I have seen them up close and personal at the Crane Foundation in Wisconsin). Love your pictures. And good for you treating yourself to some new art supplies. I look forward to seeing what you will do with them in 2023 :)
