This morning 9am there was still frost on the lawn. Inside the bus it was 2 deg, inside the house was 11 deg. The day just got better, the sun was out and the baby bird sat up and got a few rays waiting for the parents to bring more food. I cleaned out the bird cages then had a burn off of bits and pieces that had blown around from the storms last week.

Unomrak
Japanese painter.
She is very well known in Southern Japan near the island of Okinowa. The American base is there and she's taught many US soldiers how to paint.
There was a big article a few years ago in the English news how her work had been copied by some soldiers and flogged off to oversees buyers.
Anyway, her work was generally of foresty green scenes, sometimes where the work extened down to the sea and villages.
Quiet famous in Japan.

probably of okinowa.
If they are a set, they could be quite famous.
Does the handwriting look American or Japanese?
Some of the American ones are worth a penny too because the hight trained solders thought they were in Korea and added "printen in Korea" on them.
