Bio Nobuo Watanabe began painting professionally almost 20 years ago. His work has been exhibited at many shows in the United States, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Reflection My mask sprang to mind immediately. It speaks of love, peace, blessings of God, and yes, even the sadness that are all a part of the hospice movement. This mask represents another plea on my part to God asking for his divine guidance, whatever comfort he is willing to give me, the patience and courage to proceed in life, and the nirvana of world peace.
