Bashfully Bedazzling by Charles Asher



 

"Bashfully Bedazzling" Oil on Canvas 18 x 24

 Abstract of a Japanese Girl strolling in the rain.

On our way to Hong Kong for Chinese New Years (The year of the Dragon), Rhonda and I had a layover in Japan's Tokyo airport. It was a three hour layover and being bored I left Rhonda in the waiting area where she was deeply immersed in her Nora Roberts romance novel.

I strolled the airport and took in the sights. It was raining outside so I didn't go out but instead viewed the street below from a window two stories up. It was a large window that was being pelted with rain, which ran streaking down the window and blurred the view. It created the perfect atmosphere for a cold and rainy day with me stuck waiting in a noisy, crowded building.

At one point, the hard rain stopped leaving only a foggy drizzle. That's when I saw far-off figures along the side of the road. From that distance, I could not make out details except that they were approaching. Closer, I saw two female figures holding umbrellas. As they approached even closer, I could make out an older woman and a young woman, the older slightly in front. I judged the young one to be in her late teens or early 20's. They looked like mother and daughter. I studied their approach and, of course, focused on the young woman. As they came into clear view, the sun broke partially out, and light sparkled off the young woman's wet umbrella. I could see she wore traditional Japanese clothing.

The picture of her was so burned into my mind, that I sketched it on the plane as we headed for Hong Kong.

Out of the BOX

Titled: OUT of the BOX. Canvas size - 24 x 36, done in oils. A young woman is confined within a box. The sides and back of the box are bricked and the only escape is through the viewing front, which allows her to interface with the world around her. She has been confined for years by the social customs of her surroundings but has developed her mind and body to the point where she can escape her confinement. This painting shows her literally beginning her climb out. She has just placed her hands upon the frame and is ready to set herself free.
