Jean-Louis Mireault said… - Hello Ofer,
Call me Jean-Louis. As you can see with my bad english, I am from Quebec, Canada and I mostly speak and write french.
I have been to Japan for a small week; tourism. Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto...I spent 3 weeks in China and then a week in Japan. I really enjoy meeting the population, tradition and especialy the wild youth of Japan.
All these very polite attitude, the good foods, the landscape, the monasteries, people in kimonos and dressed very modern...
Of cours it is not like living there. On this planet, anyway, nothing is perfect, anywhere.
Do you work in Japan as an artist? Do you make a living out of it?
Let me tell you again that your execution on silk is gorgeous.
It has been a long time before I came back to this site but I will try to be there more often.
It was my pleasure to write and read you.

- Ofer,
Great work on silk! Japan is a country that is so marvelous with kind people. I have been there in 2007 and really enjoy my visit. Inspiring, this country and so are your fabulous silk paintings. It is a real pleasure to be on this silk painters web site because of Francine Dufour that I greatly appreciate. It is a pleasure to be here with Daniel Jean-Baptiste also. Such great silk painters in this get together.
Take care.
