    The cold winds are still blowing in New York but an early Spring has come to the NY waterfront by way of watercolors of the neighborhood painted by Japanese Bossa Nova artist, ukulele virtuoso, singer-songwriter Masafumi Sakai who lived in the Mt. Fuji area in Japan and has always loved to paint his surroundings.

    Usually I get to meet joggers, babies and dog walkers on the East River waterfront, but this being New York City – an al fresco art show is also happening!
    You never know whom you’ll meet in the city!
    Sakai sells his watercolors for just $200-300 and his work can be seen at sakaiartnewyork.com and he is on Instagram @sakepump

      Truly amazing! Yes, it’s the Buddhist aura around him – he is a lovely human being – so calm and peaceful. Not surprised that you both are friends!
