DescriptionFramed and glazed. Image of a women with a basket of bread walking down a paved lane in a French village. The style of painting uses rough sketching and penciling, colored over in gray and minimal pops of color.
Color - blue, yellow, red, and green - is used intentionally to enhance specific characteristics: blue in the women's dress, shutters, and fences; yellow in the trees; green in the bike leaning on a fence; and red in the roofs.

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
