Right under my nose!

After spending most of Sunday afternoon contemplating which woodblock print could be considered my favourite, I found today that the answer had been right under my nose all along... or to my right and up a bit, to be precise. Hanging on the wall, only a few feet from where I sit to write every day of every week, is a print by the pioneering Israeli artist, and collector of Japanese prints, Jacob Pins (17th January 1917 - 4th December 2005)... a portrait of Jack Hillier produced in 1992. Mary Hillier fondly called it "Jack admiring Eishi", and aside from the fact that it is a very attractive print, there is a good likeness and the print holds great sentimental value for me. So there you have it... a firm favourite staring me right in the face.
